The witches sang mysterious and pleasant blessings, and the bells in their hands danced up and down.
The coronation ceremony had always been complicated.
First worship heaven and earth, then worship ancestors and earth gods. Blessing the memorial tablet invited from the Imperial Temple, informing the heroes in the heaven of the matter.
After these were over, the time came to noon.
In the call of the officials and the dance of the witches, the emperor wearing twelve chapters of gorgeous clothes stepped into the Tianjie in the center of the Great Witch Temple.
(t/n: Tianjie-the steps of the imperial palace, often refers to the building facilities of the imperial court)
Zong Luo walked up step by step, crossed the mountains, rivers, and seas, and crossed over the gate to the Imperial Palace. The officials stayed under the gate to the Imperial Palace, looking up at the top, kneeling neatly on the ground.
The last part of the road was walked by Zong Luo and Yu Beizhou.
According to the ancestral teachings, this staircase was only during the coronation ceremony of the past dynasties, only the emperor could ascend to the highest place. However, the emperor did not avoid sharing his power with the King of Beining, expressing love in the public eye. It was also a big event that Emperor Yuan nodded and agreed, and Feng Chang dared not say.
Two figures, one black and one red, their fingers clasped, each step was steadier than the last.
Under the gate of the Imperial Palace, the green-robed official who was kneeling on the ground finally looked at the two figures and finally slowly lowered his eyes. His face showed no sadness or joy, presenting an extreme silence.
One step wrong, every step would be wrong, life was like a game of chess, and a thought difference, one would lose the whole game.
When he reached the high place and was shoulder to shoulder with Yu Beizhou, Zong Luo was still a little dazed.
Half a year had passed since the Imperial City’s big misfortune.
According to the etiquette, the emperor should hold the coronation ceremony one month after the death of the late emperor. Although filial piety was important, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day. The emperors of the past dynasties have all been “reluctantly” complied with, and ascended the throne during the period of mourning.
But Zong Luo really didn’t want to make a big fuss during the mourning period.
So he dragged it hard for half a year, took over the government affairs, stood firm, and incorporated the Wei Country. After there were no worries, he held the ceremony.
Because the ceremony was to comfort the heroic spirits.
No matter how this unified world was dedicated to the ancestors, the most important thing was still Emperor Yuan.
Taking over the wine cup, Zong Luo turned around with Yu Beizhou and offered wine to comfort the world.
When that piece of jade seal was completely handed over to Zong Luo, and the decree was announced to the world, a mysterious bird suddenly flew from the sky.
The mysterious bird was black and red all over, with dense green tail feathers, and when it flew in the sky, it raised a golden light.
“That’s a divine bird!” (TL: also called phoenix)
“Xuanniao, the Xuanniao of destiny! It is the auspicious omen of my Great Yuan!”
(t/n: Xuanniao (Dark or Mysterious Bird)- a sacred bird in ancient Chinese myths and legends. From “The Classic of Mountains and Seas”, the initial image of the black bird resembles a swallow.)
The ancestors of Great Yuan were actually the descendants of the previous dynasty. In the late previous dynasty, they mixed into the feudal princes and endured hardships. When the princes rebelled and the previous dynasty was destroyed, their true bloodline was revealed to the world.
And the most famous myth of the previous dynasty was the Xuanniao of destiny, which came carrying a jade.
However Zong Luo opened his eyes wide.
Because he saw that the jade in the mouth of the Xuanniao was clearly a piece of clear and transparent, excellent quality dragon jade.
That was what he spent countless time carving, and presented it to the father emperor on the birthday of Emperor Yuan. Later, it was buried in the imperial mausoleum with the burial, and it should be in the imperial mausoleum now. Why did it appear in the mouth of the Xuanniao?
The Xuanniao flew across the sky and circled the highest platform for several weeks.
In a trance, a familiar and majestic voice came.
“Don’t offer incense for Zhen anymore, Zhen is clearly the latest heroic spirit to return to the witch land, but I surpassed the ancestors, and want to ascend to immortality first. If you have time, go to the ancestral temple to burn incense for the emperors, don’t be thick and thin!”
(t/n: thick and thin-Definition. to favor one and discriminate against the other)
Although it was a reprimand, it was filled with obvious helplessness and laughter, as if it clearly fell into the ears of Zong Luo and Yu Beizhou, like a dream.
After circling around, the Xuanniao reluctantly flapped its wings and suddenly plunged straight into the sky.
In just a few moments, the figure disappeared.
Zong Luo almost spent all his strength to control his tears from falling.
Since Emperor Yuan left, he did nothing but build temples everywhere for worship.
In this world inside a book, there were immortals who accepted incense and worship, and it was not impossible for humans to become immortals. The first thing Zong Luo did when he got the jade seal was to confer Emperor Yuan as the founding emperor, adding all the merits of unifying the world to the head of the person, once again compiling history and corresting name., and study tour preaching.
Now in the eyes of the common people, Emperor Yuan was not a tyrant, but a sage and wise monarch, an emperor through ages. The official positions on his body were so many that it was frightening. Whether it was for academics, marriage, or wealth, they would go to worship when they have something or nothing.
With such a huge belief, it was no wonder that Emperor Yuan in the sky would send a Xuanniao to deliver a message.
Of course, now that the son had grown up, he would not listen to his old father’s words.
How to make the father emperor a Xianzun, never give up.
(t/n: Xianzun (Immortal Lord)-This is a kind of title, which is popular in the modification of immortality and Taoism. An honorary position, a title, indicating that one has a certain level of understanding of the Tao after attaining the Tao, and that one has attained or possesses magical powers or possesses great magic power, such as an immortal or a god.)
Zong Luo smiled and turned to look at Yu Beizhou, “Father Emperor is watching us in the sky.”
The latter helped him sweep his hair behind his ears, “Hmm.”
In fact, Yu Beizhou had a dream a long time ago.
In the dream, Emperor Yuan grabbed his ear and sneered, saying that this stinky boy had stolen the big white cabbage at home, and then took a broom to beat him. Because it was in the dream, Yu Beizhou couldn’t resist, and for the first time experienced the beloved education from his old father.
Although he was beaten up in the dream. But when he woke up, he was refreshed, and the occasional blockage of the heart meridian due to the heart change disappeared, even the old imperial physician said it was a miracle.
Yu Beizhou was a little speechless, that was not an ordinary dream.
These immortal Heavenly Way, why does it like to appear in dreams so much.
