Eighty thousand miles of purple air spread out over the imperial city.
The martial artists who came to participate in the birthday ceremony, as well as the martial artists inside and outside the imperial capital, all looked up at this moment.
When Lin Bai saw the eighty thousand miles of purple air, he felt shocked in his heart, and he had no other thoughts other than that.
Only Zhang Bailiu, the patriarch standing in front of Lin Bai, looked up at the 80,000 miles of Ziqi, and sighed, "I really didn't expect Chu's national fortune to be so good. The Ziqi is 80,000 miles away. The foundation of Chu State will not be shaken."
Lin Bai was rather curious, and asked, "Old Ancestor, is there anything to say about the 80,000 miles of purple energy?"
Patriarch Zhang Bailiu thought about it carefully, and said to Lin Bai: "The Holy Son doesn't know something. There are many forces in this world, but there are only three forms."
"First, the sect."
"Such as our Tianshui Sect, Wentian Sect, Shenglian Palace, Tianxian Sect, etc., are all considered as sects."
"The sect is relatively simple. You only need to recruit the disciples of Tianjiao and train them to become talents, so that the sect can continue to grow."
"The second type is the family."
"Like the five big families in Chu, the Chen family, the Qian family, the Li family, the Sun family, and the Zhao family, they are all families."
"Families are simpler than sects. They are bound by blood and kinship. All members of the family can use their strength to the same place, which can also make the family flourish."
"The third force belongs to the dynasty!"
"The power of the dynasty is completely different from that of the sect and the family."
"The organizational structure of a dynasty is much more complicated than sects and families, involving various aspects."
"Creating a dynasty is much more difficult than creating a family and sect, but they have unique advantages."
"This advantage... is the luck of the country!"
The fate of the country... Lin Bai was thoughtful.
Zhang Bailiu said: "The fate of the country is a mysterious thing. No one can explain exactly how it is formed."
Zhang Bailiu looked at the 80,000 miles of purple air in the sky above his head, and said in a low voice, "Every birthday of Emperor Chu, there will be a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and after Emperor Chu pays homage to heaven and earth, the fate of the country will also be presented."
"For example, now... Emperor Chu sacrifices to the sky, and the purple air is 80,000 miles away, which means that the national fortune of Chu State is extremely prosperous. At least in the next tens of thousands of years, no one can shake the foundation of Chu State."
"It's a pity..." Zhang Bailiu sighed softly, "If there is '90,000 Miles of Purple Qi', it is very likely that there will be a saint in Chu in the future, someone who can achieve Taoism and become a fairy."
"It's a pity that it's only 80,000 miles away, and the vision of the saint who is 90,000 miles away from Ziqi is still far behind."
After listening to Zhang Bailiu's explanation, Lin Bai half understood, as if the purple air hovering in the sky represented the future destiny of Chu State.
But it is not clearly stated how many years of national fortune it represents.
According to Zhang Bailiu's speculation, at least in the next tens of thousands of years, no one can shake the foundation of Chu State.
Zhang Bailiu said again in a low voice: "Next there is an extremely important link."
"What link?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
Zhang Bailiu looked at the altar, and noticed the big bell and drum in his eyes, "Holy Son, look, the big bell is called 'Tianming Bell', and the big drum is called 'Diming Drum', they belong to the Chu family." Special artifacts for royal sacrifices."
"According to the old rules, when Emperor Chu's sacrifice to heaven is over, the prince will step forward, ring the bell and beat the drum, and announce it to the world."
"At that time, the purple air from eighty thousand li in the sky will fly down and fall into Chujun's body, which means that he will carry the future destiny of Chu."
"But now under the command of Emperor Chu, there is no clear appointment of a prince."
"His Royal Highness King Chen and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are both on the altar at the moment. At that time, we don't know who will ring the bell and who will beat the drums."
Lin Bai heard the explanation from the patriarch Zhang Bailiu, and also looked at the big bell and drums on the altar.
According to what Zhang Bailiu said... the emperor of Chu's birthday sacrifice to heaven was followed by the empress and the crown prince. Other than that, the rest of the royal family had to wait under the platform of heaven.
But now there is no crown prince in the state of Chu, so His Highness King Chen and His Highness the Third Prince are both on the altar at the same time.
The bell and the drum represent the succession of the prince.
This is interesting... His Royal Highness King Chen and His Highness the Third Prince, who are going to ring the bell and who are going to beat the drums?
Lin Bai squinted his eyes, and thought carefully in his heart... Although Xia Jingzhi's confession has not been presented to Emperor Chu at this moment, but the news has leaked out, Emperor Chu should not let the third prince hit the bell and drum.
If the third prince doesn't go, only Prince Chen will go.
If His Royal Highness Chen goes down to strike the bell and beat the drums, carrying the fate of the Chu Kingdom, then he will be the next emperor who deserves it.
To put it simply... this birthday of Emperor Chu is not only a grand gathering in the devil world, but also a transfer of power in the Chu Kingdom.
In the long wait.
After about two hours, the process of offering sacrifices to heaven was finally over.
"Drums! Ring the bell."
After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, your father-in-law called out the last part of the ceremony.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the Tiandao Terrace, wanting to see which prince would go up to strike the bell and beat the drum.
"According to the previous rules, it was the crown prince of Chu who came forward to beat the drum and ring the bell, which also represented the carrying of the fate of Chu."
"But now that there is no crown prince in Chu, who is going to ring the bell and drum?"
"Is it the third prince?"
"It's still His Royal Highness Chen Wang."
"..."
"No matter who is going to strike the bell and beat the drum, as long as he goes, it means that he will bear the fate of the Chu Kingdom and become the next Chu Emperor!"
Everyone knew very well that no matter whether it was the third prince who went to strike the bell and beat the drum, or whether His Royal Highness Chen went down to strike the bell and beat the drum, he would carry the fate of the Chu Kingdom and become the next Chu Emperor.
now.
All warriors raised their heads and looked at His Royal Highness Chen Wang and the third prince, wanting to see who will become the overlord of Chu in the future.
In the midst of everyone's attention, Emperor Chu turned around and looked at His Royal Highness Chen Wang and His Highness the Third Prince who were humble.
The two of them didn't move, and they listened closely to Emperor Chu's orders.
At the same time, the hearts of the two were beating wildly, and they also knew that the next Emperor Chu asked them to ring the bell and beat the drum, which would be tantamount to announcing to the world who would be the next Emperor Chu of the Chu Kingdom.
Emperor Chu's gentle eyes glanced back and forth at the third prince and His Highness Chen Wang, and finally shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "According to the past rules, on my birthday, the crown prince will ring the bell and drum for me to announce to the world. "
"But now within the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, there is no crown prince!"
"That……"
"Then... let the emperor come in person."
After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the big bell. He used his torrential power, danced the firing pin, and blasted towards the big bell.
Boom...
The deep and deep sound of the sky-mingling bell immediately reverberated, went straight into the sky, and resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The 80,000 li purple air above the sky seemed to be drawn, like a funnel, falling from the sky and pouring into Emperor Chu's body.
Immediately afterwards.
Emperor Chu went to the front of the 'Diming Drum' again and beat the Diming Drum.
The sound of the ground drum reverberated across the sky and the earth, and the other half of the purple energy also fell from the sky and poured into Emperor Chu's body.
"Sacrifice to the heavens, after the ceremony!"
When your father-in-law heard the ringing of the sky-mingling bell and the earth-mingling drum, the loud sound immediately came to the audience.
"Please go to the ancestral temple and participate in the ancestor worship ceremony on the birthday of Emperor Chu." Your father-in-law said to the warriors in the square below.
Immediately.
The warriors in the square cupped their hands and said: "Congratulations to the Chu Kingdom for generations to come, and it will last forever!"
