Zongwu: I, the strongest alchemist, the auction of the heavens

Chapter 215: Daqin Heavenly Sacrifice
The seeds had already been planted in their hearts.

One day, it will become a towering tree.

……

Dusk of Shang, seventh day from the new moon.

Very auspicious, suitable for offering sacrifices.

The location for the Qin Dynasty's Heavenly Sacrifice had already been selected.

It is Mount Tai, one of the Five Great Mountains.

Mount Tai is high, and Ying Zheng once thought that if he performed Fengshan here, his words would surely reach the ears of the gods.

This time, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying was naturally held here.

Ying Zheng ordered that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven be presided over by the Grand Historian.

Naturally, the things on Mount Tai were prepared a long time ago.

In the court, except for Ying Zheng's confidants.

Most of the court officials actually did not know what the main purpose of this sacrifice to heaven was.

But the emperor has given an order.

Naturally they could only obey.

Soon, the auspicious time arrived.

The solemn and dignified ritual music was heavy and mysterious. Qin Emperor Ying Zheng wore a black dragon robe and a crown with twelve tassels on his head. To the sound of such music, he walked up to the altar holding the emperor's sword in his hand.

He looked solemn, and in front of him were deacons holding offerings. They held the sacrificial plates in their hands and stood respectfully on both sides of the altar.

Behind Ying Zheng were countless ministers with equally solemn and dignified expressions.

Fusu then stood at the head of the ministers.

In fact, even if it has come to this point.

There were still countless court officials who did not know the purpose of this sacrifice to heaven.

When it came to establishing a dynasty of destiny, Ying Zheng's first choice was naturally to explain it to his confidants.

After all, this is a big deal.

Moreover, it is not a good thing for too many people to know before everything is finalized.

Those ministers who did not know the truth were still whispering to each other until the ceremony began.

I want to get some information from my colleagues.

It’s a pity that I still got nothing.

And now.

The sound of ritual music brought everyone's attention back to their senses by this ancient music.

They stood upright, their eyes fixed firmly on Ying Zheng, who was now at the top.

at this time.

The sunlight was about to break through the clouds, and countless golden rays of light fell on the altar.

The historian looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven begins..."

"Welcome the gods——"

As soon as the words "welcome the gods" were uttered.

On top of Mount Tai, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Welcome the gods when they rise and see them off when they die.

It was as if from this moment on, their every word and action would be exposed to the gaze of God, and they were afraid that breathing too heavily would incur the wrath of God.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

Everyone felt like a long time had passed before the historian's voice sounded again.

"Offer jade and silk—"

The jade and silk had been prepared long ago, and the butler holding the jade and silk knelt respectfully in front of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng picked up the jade from the jade plate with both hands, then strode to the center of the altar and placed the jade on the rack that had been prepared long ago.

This step is over.

Next, it’s time to serve the food.

The ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner, and Ying Zheng's expression did not seem to have changed much.

Only Fusu knew.

Last night, Ying Zheng almost didn't sleep the whole night.

The establishment of a dynasty of destiny is an opportunity for Daqin.

But the same thing.

The Chinese continent has existed for tens of millions of years, but there has never been any record of a dynasty of great fortune.

Without previous experience, they had to prepare everything by themselves.

In this situation.

Even Ying Zheng was very nervous.

But fortunately.

So far, everything is a victory.

Fusu was not the only one who felt this way.

Even Meng Tian, ​​Li Si and others were sweating coldly at this moment.

But apart from that, there is more expectation.

Like Ying Zheng, they have endless ambitions. They want the Qin Dynasty to move towards the most glorious future in their era.

and so.

this moment.

They all held their breath nervously and listened to Ying Zheng's prayers to heaven.

"In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin offered sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven with sacrificial offerings, jade, silk, and seasonal delicacies."

"The Heaven is above, and its might and virtue are great. I have received the mandate of Heaven to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world. Today, I lead my ministers to pay respect to Mount Tai and offer sacrifices to the Heaven."

Ying Zheng's voice was majestic yet elegant.

Word by word, sonorous and powerful.

But what happened next shocked many people.

"I wish to establish a dynasty that will last for eternity, and the dynasty name will remain Qin."

As soon as the words "Today, a dynasty of destiny" came out.

Regardless of the ministers who were in the ceremony and were unaware of this.

The common people who had followed Ying Zheng to Mount Tai and wanted to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven were all a little confused.

The four words "Dynasty"

For them.

Too strange.

What's more, Daqin itself is one of the most powerful dynasties in the Shenzhou continent.

Why would a dynasty of destiny be suddenly established now?
however.

No matter what they think in their hearts.

Ying Zheng's voice did not pause for a moment.

"I shall respect Heaven and follow the example of my ancestors, and govern the country diligently. I shall rule the world with law and care for the people with benevolence, and I shall ensure that the cause of the Great Qin will be passed down through the ages."

"May the Emperor of Heaven bless Daqin, grant Daqin prosperity, and successfully establish a dynasty of destiny."

"Enjoy your meal!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he knelt in the center of the altar with the jade seal in his hand.

The emperor had already knelt, and even though the ministers were shocked, they all knelt down and repeated the words in Ying Zheng's previous sacrificial text and prayed together.

"May the Emperor of Heaven bless Daqin, grant Daqin prosperity, and successfully establish a dynasty of destiny."

"May the Emperor of Heaven bless Daqin, grant Daqin prosperity, and successfully establish a dynasty of destiny."

I wonder if this is just the ministers’ illusion.

As they shouted.

The sky, which was originally extremely clear, now had a faint glow of light.

slowly.

The glow of light became brighter and brighter.

There was even a ray of colorful light that broke out from the rosy glow and shot directly into the jade seal in Ying Zheng's hand like an arrow leaving a bow.

It's the same moment.

The ministers kneeling on the ground suddenly felt their bodies lighten.

Those who had been stuck in a bottleneck for years broke through overnight.

But they didn't react at all.

His eyes were filled with dullness and surprise.

just.

They didn't wait long to be surprised.

Suddenly, an ethereal yet majestic voice suddenly exploded in their ears.

"I have a question."

"Qin Huang, are you willing to answer?"

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

No one could sense where the voice came from, but it felt as if the person was right next to their ears.

Even at this moment.

An extremely absurd idea has already emerged in their minds.

Could this voice really be from a god?
If that's really the case.

Isn't their Great Qin the first dynasty that can communicate with gods?

If that's really the case.

Daqin...

It will definitely last for ten thousand years!

this moment.

This thought suddenly popped up in the minds of both court officials and common people.

Then, they, who were already kneeling, crouched even lower.

It was as if he was afraid that he would be blamed by the gods for not being respectful enough and would be punished by the Qin Dynasty.
