Chapter 60 Sacrifice to Heaven
The middle-aged man wearing a high crown has already knelt on the ground, but he kept nodding.
A gray-haired old minister knelt down tremblingly: "Your Highness, the 20th generation of the King of Wu inherits the throne, and everyone hopes to rule. I also hope that His Royal Highness the King of Wu will give the title to the 20th generation."
King Wu of Vientiane pondered slightly and said, "I expect him to be wise and holy, and be a wise lord. The fifteenth generation is in the name of 'sage', so... Changwen, you take the name of 'Ming'."
Speaking of which, King Wu of Vientiane had stood up and began to walk to the throne. Then he took out a square seal of a statue with a lion and elephant, and was about to give it to the middle-aged man in yellow robe kneeling in front of him.
This square seal with a lion elephant is called "Lion Elephant Jade Seal".
This "lion elephant jade seal" is the supreme emperor symbol of the "Wanxiang Kingdom". Like the jade seal of the "Southern Holy Kingdom", whoever masters this jade seal is the real orthodox king and the co-owner of the world.
King Wu of Vientiane was about to spread the "lion elephant jade seal" when he suddenly paused slightly and laughed: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot that there is one last thing that has not been done, and I can't spread the jade seal."
Everyone in the hall was stunned. No one knew what King Wu was talking about. The middle-aged man who knelt on the ground changed his face slightly, but he did not dare to look up.
"Where is Gu Fan on Pengmen Island?" King Wu of Vientiane suddenly raised his voice.
Everyone immediately looked at the place where everyone gathered on Pengmen Island.
Gu Fan was stunned at first. He didn't expect that King Wu of Vientiane would call his name at this time, but he still swaggered out.
King Wu of Vientiane looked at Gu Fan with a smile on his face and said, "I once made a promise that who can defeat the Siamese of the 'King of Thailand' in that ring and give me a hundred gold coins and the original secret of the 'Lion and Elephant Final'. Can I promise a promise a thousand gold? Haha, little guy, come here."
Gu Fan came up, and King Wu waved his hand, and two young women came out behind him, carrying a long gold case with two boxes of different sizes on it.
King Wu of Vientiane opened it one by one. The big box was full of yellow round iron coins, which were gold coins, while in the small box was an old slightly yellowed book.
"Here are a hundred gold coins. This book is the original secret of 'Lion and Elephant'. Now, I will give it to you together."
King Wu of Vientiane smiled. Although Gu Fan did not want to kneel down, he had to kneel down to Xie En in public eyes. He was still very excited.
The purchasing power of a hundred gold coins is amazing. This is a great wealth, and the "lion and elephant decision" is what Gu Fan dreamed of.
I have finally received it now.
Gu Fan put away two boxes and retreated. His face was full of excitement. King Wu of Vientiane smiled, which officially passed on the "Lion Elephant Jade seal" to the middle-aged man who had been kneeling there.
The middle-aged man respectfully took over the "lion elephant jade seal" and held it above the top.
After taking over the "Lion Elephant Jade seal", the middle-aged man in yellow robe stood up with the help of King Wu of Vientiane. Then, he turned around, faced the people in the main hall, and raised the jade seal in his hand high.
Except for King Wu of Vientiane, except for foreign guests, everyone else began to kneel down one after another.
"Long live the King of Ming--"
The shocking sound of the sky resounded in all directions. The 19th generation of the "King of Wu" of Vientiane abdicate, and its unification was officially passed on to the 20th generation of the "King of Ming".
When all the people in the Man Hall visited the new "King of Ming", King Wu of Vientiane, with a faint smile, quietly retreated, and then left the main hall.
This is no longer his stage. He has retreated behind the scenes. In the future Vientiane Kingdom, he has been handed over to the new twenty-generation "King Ming".
Put away the "lion elephant jade seal". The yellow-robed king, wearing a high crown, sat down on the throne of the top, high above, looking down at the students below, and an unspeakable excitement gushed out of his heart.
It has been many years since he dreamed of this day. Now, his dream has finally come true. He really sits in this position and can hold the power of life and death and command the world.
"No, it's not the right time. The old man is still alive, and the real power is still in his hands. I need to continue to endure..." The Mingwang immediately secretly warned himself, and then put away the slightly proud smile on his face, turned into a gentle smile, signaling all those who knelt up. Next, there was a "sacrifice" The ceremony of "God".
is also the most important part of the whole "Enthrection Ceremony".
Only after passing the "sacrifice to the sky" can the king of Ming be regarded as the real "Wanxiang Kingdom" king. Otherwise, everything is false.
The so-called "sacrifice to heaven" is actually "sacrifice to the ancestors". In the minds of the people in the Vientiane Kingdom, the ancestors have been feathered and ascended to heaven, and the "sacrifice to the ancestors" is also known as "sacrifice to the sky". That is to say, after the new king ascends the throne, it is necessary to ask the wishes of the ancestors in heaven through sacrifice.
If the ancestors agree to recognize the new king, the new king can really succeed to the throne. Otherwise, the new king will still not be able to complete the real accession to the throne.
This kind of ceremony is available in all countries. In fact, it has been passed down to the present, and there is basically only one form left, so generally few countries will have a situation where the new king cannot ascend the throne because the "sacrifice to heaven" ceremony is not passed.
For example, the sacrificial ceremony of the "Wanxiang Kingdom".
In the "King of Vientiane", the lion elephant is regarded as a sacred object, especially a "lion elephant beast" raised in the royal city.
This "lion elephant beast" is born with a different species and a lion-headed elephant body, which is regarded as the incarnation of the ancestors of the "Wanxiang Kingdom".
And the so-called "sacrifice to heaven" is to summon this "lion elephant beast". If the "lion elephant beast" submits to the new king, it represents the recognition of the new king. The ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is considered successful.
On the contrary, if the "lion, elephant and beast" does not submit, it means that the ancestors do not recognize the new king.
Of course, I don't know how many years this "lion and elephant beast" have been raised. It has been matured for a long time, and even let it submit to the new king. It is not difficult to train it in advance.
Therefore, there is basically no mistake in the sacrificial instruments of various countries, just a formality.
Headed by the King of Ming, everyone in the hall walked out of the main hall. On the square outside, a brass tripod had been erected. Under the tripod, the stove was burning. Two rows of drummers began to beat the drum. In the sound of the sky-shaking drums, the witch goddesses wearing ornaments began to dance the sacrificial dance.
The grand "sacrifice to heaven" ceremony officially began.
The Ming king, wearing a high crown and a yellow robe, boarded in front of the brass tripod, took a torch and threw it into the tripod.
Immediately, the flames in the giant tripod rose to the sky, and the dance of the witches and goddesses in the National Week was even more crazy.
In the distance, a group of people have begun to come here with a giant monster in red and green.
In all directions, everyone made way for this giant monster.
This monster, with a huge body, has a lion-like head and ornaments on its back. It looks majestic. It is the god beast of the "Wanxiang Kingdom": the lion elephant beast.
Zhenguo mythical beasts are rarely seen. The people of the islands, including the messengers of all countries, all showed a look of curiosity and awe.
Gu Fan mixed in the crowd and heard Bai Jianxiong beside him whisper, "I heard that this 'lion and elephant beast' was originally the mount of the founding ancestor of the 'Wanxiang Kingdom'. I don't know how old he has lived until now. I'm afraid he has become a sperm long time ago... I'm afraid that ordinary ancestors can't deal with it."
Huoxuan said softly, as if he agreed with Bai Jianxiong's point of view.
When the "lion elephant beast" was led to the front of the brass tripod, the Ming king began to raise his voice and shouted, "Lion elephant beast, can you submit to me?"
In general, when this "lion elephant beast" hears the order, it will kneel down respectfully to show its submission. In fact, before the accession to the throne, King Ming has also experimented several times. This "lion elephant beast" has always been very obedient.
But this time, unexpectedly, the "lion and elephant beast" heard King Ming's order and did not kneel down. Instead, he raised his head and let out a shocking roar.
Its roar, like the roar of a lion, and also like the sound of an elephant, shook around, making the Ming king in front of him change his face greatly.
He never expected such a change.
"Lion, elephant and beast, why don't you kneel down to me?" The king of Ming was furious and drank again.
With the shout of the King of Ming, the "lion and elephant beast" seemed to be enraged. Suddenly, the front hoof left the ground, and the tall man stood up and his body waved. A servant in blue who was holding it exclaimed and was pulled far away by the reins.
"Wow--" The lion and elephant beast roared, and the phenomenon was in chaos. A group of servants in blue around them wanted to jump on the crazy lion and elephant beast. They didn't want to be hit by it. They immediately rolled out one after another. In addition, a servant in blue could not dodge. He was stepped on the chest by the lion elephant beast and immediately smashed all his internal organs. If it cracks, it will be killed immediately.
King Ming was very angry and shouted: "Evil beast--" together with his palms, there was a faint roar in the palm wind, and he wanted to bombard at the "lion, elephant and beast".
" Stop!"
A majestic low shout sounded. King Ming was worried and busy recruiting, but he saw that the Wang Wu of Vientiane, who had left, reappeared in front of the crazy lion elephant beast, stretched out a right palm and pressed the forehead of the lion elephant beast.
The lion and elephant beast kept shaking and shaking its head, but it could not shake the right palm of King Wu of Vientiane.
The strength of the "six-level ancestor" is by no means a false reputation.
"Lion and elephant beast, what's going on?" The majestic voice of King Wu of Vientiane sounded. I don't know how many years the lion and elephant beast have lived. It has long been psychic, and it is impossible to go crazy for no reason. What surprised him is that the lion and elephant beast's eyes are not a frantic look of anger, but panic.
Others can't see it, but King Wu of Vientiane noticed it. He was extremely surprised. What made the lion, elephant and beast so frightened?
"Howl--" The lion and the beast roared, and the four hooves kept stepping on the ground, as if they wanted to escape from here.
