Chapter 509 Will it really lead to the extinction of the family line?
Shen Changgong frowned when he saw this, and after Master Qiao came down, he whispered,
"Master Qiao, it's not appropriate to sacrifice a living person. The child is still so young."
Master Qiao was startled when he heard this and said,
"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. She is the most important and precious person in our entire Taoist temple.
Liuli has a pure heart and a spotless body. Our entire Taoist temple combined is not as important as her.
If there is anyone in this world who can truly communicate with the gods and gain their favor, then no one is more qualified than her.
Besides, we Taoists don’t practice human sacrifice.”
"That's fine. So, this little girl is quite powerful, isn't she? She's very advanced in Taoism?"
"The secret cannot be leaked."
Master Qiao bowed and stood aside.
At this time, the little girl was already a master in Shen Changgong's eyes.
Looking at the back of the little girl sitting cross-legged in meditation, she is so unfathomable.
A moment later, a star lit up in the sky, and a little bit of dawn appeared in the east.
Master Qiao clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed dryly.
No movement.
Another dry cough.
Still no movement.
So he picked up a copper Bagua plate and knocked it hard.
when!
"Is dinner ready?"
The little nun on the altar woke up and quickly stood up.
Master Qiao glared at her and coughed dryly.
"Oh, it's time."
Shen Changgong was so upset. He thought this little nun was some kind of expert. She was so young and yet she could sit in meditation without moving. Her concentration was so strong. It turned out that Gao Shen was asleep.
The little nun glanced at the horizon, her breath sinking into her dantian, and she shouted in a childish voice,
"Auspicious stars shine brightly, purple air comes from the east, the sun rises in the east, and all things are born!"
"Please invite the Great Emperor to ascend the altar and offer sacrifices to the heavens and the gods!"
Yan Fuyao took a step forward and climbed up, followed by Shen Changgong, Ma Ling and Lao Fengchang.
When she arrived at the altar, the little nun turned around and walked to the side, but with a thud, her forehead hit a strong chest.
Shen Changgong looked down at her.
She looked up at Shen Changgong, pouting unhappily, and said angrily,
"Why am I so tall? When I grow up, I will definitely be taller than you!"
After saying that, she glared at Shen Changgong angrily, then stood aside.
Shen Changgong: ???
Okay, okay, you bumped into me, or is it my fault?
So, Shen Changgong quietly reached out his hand and flicked her on the back of the head.
"what!"
The little nun covered her head and screamed, then raised her head to look at Shen Changgong, her eyes blazing with anger and her teeth gnashing.
Shen Changgong turned his head to look at the sky, his eyes fixed on the sky, with a smug smile on his lips.
After the empress prepared the sacrificial offerings, she raised her glass to the sky when the first rays of the rising sun appeared in the east.
Then, Lao Fengchang recited the sacrificial prayer loudly.
The meaning is nothing more than praising the merits and great achievements of Emperor Yan Fuyao of the Great Yan, and then reporting to the ancestors and asking the gods for instructions, asking the gods to give their will on whether to support the Great Yan in unifying the world.
Of course, the gods cannot hear, let alone give any decrees. It is still humans who have the final say on what the gods mean.
But this is enough. People of this era are ignorant, and it is best to fool them with God's will.
It can establish the legitimacy of Dayan.
Even if Dayan invaded other countries for no reason, it could be said that it was following the will of God to unify the world and eliminate war.
If you resist, you are disobeying the will of God, and you will be punished by God, go to hell, and never be reborn.
The sacrificial ceremony was very complicated, time-consuming and laborious. After consulting the gods, Shen Changgong and Ma Ling came down, and the emperor and Feng Chang stayed on top.
The sun in the east was already halfway up, casting the clouds below red, which was extremely magnificent.
Everyone was appreciating this scene that would be remembered for a lifetime.
The sun had risen completely and the sky was already bright. It was not until the morning that the entire sacrificial ceremony was completed.
The final result was that the gods agreed to Yan Fuyao's request and allowed her to unify the world.
After unifying the world, Yan Fuyao will return to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods and return her will and "divine power" to the gods. The gods will then grant her the destiny of being the ruler of the world.
Shen Changgong didn't understand, but he respected it and followed the local customs.
The group returned to the central part of the mountain top, and Master Qiao walked with the little nun.
The guards then made a fire and cooked, and after eating they prepared to go down the mountain.
When they arrived at the Taoist temple, Master Qiao suddenly said to Shen Changgong seriously,
"Your Majesty, please follow me. I have something to say to you."
Shen Changgong was stunned when he heard this, and then walked over.
The guard and Tu Que Ling wanted to follow, but were stopped by Master Qiao.
"Only the prince can come alone."
Yan Fuyao was a little curious when she saw this, but she still asked everyone to leave.
Shen Changgong followed Master Qiao and the little Taoist nun into the Taoist temple's shrine, and then both of them sat cross-legged on the cushions.
The little Taoist nun standing next to him was quite vindictive and kept staring at him, probably looking for an opportunity to give him a blow on the head.
Shen Changgong asked with a smile,
"Master Qiao, are you seeking me alone? Is there something important? But what's wrong with the fate of my Great Yan?"
Master Qiao shook his head and said,
"The prosperity of the Great Yan nation is like the rising sun, with strong momentum and no problems whatsoever. I came to see the prince for a personal matter."
"My personal affairs?"
Shen Changgong frowned in confusion.
Master Qiao sighed, looked outside, and said,
"The women who came with the prince yesterday are all his wives, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with them?"
"There's nothing wrong with them, it's you, Your Highness, who has the problem."
"Is there something wrong with this king?"
Shen Changgong was confused and said,
"Master, please get straight to the point. I don't like beating around the bush."
"Then I'll tell you straight out, Your Majesty has been married to several wives for many years, but still has no children?"
Shen Changgong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
When I met that old man yesterday, he said that he had committed too many sins of killing and that he would have no descendants. I didn't take it seriously and thought it was just the nonsense of ignorant mountain people. I didn't pay any attention to it.
Now even Master Qiao mentioned this matter. Even if he is a materialist, he still feels a little unsure.
After all, you may not believe things from other places, but on Mount Tai, a mysterious and revered mountain, the words spoken by this immortal old Taoist priest are still somewhat credible.
There is a reason why Taoist culture has been passed down for thousands of years.
It is impossible for the other party to talk nonsense in such a place where gods live.
The hearts of people in this era were still relatively pure, and they truly regarded Mount Tai as the residence of gods.
Shen Changgong said,
"It's like this, among these ladies, the distant one has been married for almost two years, and the recent one has been married for a few months.
This prince is in good health, but he has no children. What is going on?
