Datang signed in for 18 years and suddenly discovered that it was Journey to the West

As for the accompanying civil and military officials, they tried their best to show respect one by one.

No one thought that this sacrifice would have any practical effect.

After all, even the Jade Emperor Haotian didn't respond, so what about offering sacrifices to the ancestors?

But in order to temporarily appease the hearts of the people, it can only be so.

……

Li Shimin got out of the chariot, and together with the Empress Changsun, all the princes and daughters, together with civil and military officials, walked towards the Palace of the Emperor.

Li Heng, who was appointed by Jinkou to hold fortune and offer sacrifices to ancestors, had already led all the temple masters to wait in front of the Renhuang Hall. When he saw Li Shi's people arriving, he immediately bowed his body and saluted to show respect.

The presiding officer and Miaozhu of the Hall of Human Emperors represent the three emperors and five emperors enshrined in the hall. According to etiquette rules, even facing the emperor, there is no need to bow down.

"Please, Your Majesty." Li Heng smiled.

At the same time, a group of temple officials took the sacrifices prepared by the servants and carefully carried them into the Human Emperor's Hall.

"En." Li Shimin nodded slightly, and respectfully walked into the Human Emperor's Hall, which he hadn't paid much attention to before.

He lowered his head, not even daring to look directly at the statues of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns. In the end, he led all the princes and daughters, civil and military officials, and knelt down in front of the statues of the ancestors.

Wearing a gorgeous robe and holding a white jade ruyi, Li Heng walked slowly to the direction where Li Shimin and others knelt down, stood under the statue of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and shouted loudly:

"The ceremony begins!"

……

Since it was to appease the hearts of the people, this time the sacrifice was not blocked from the outside world.

Even ordinary people can watch from a long distance, and if they have some status, they can even stand at a relatively close distance to watch the Tang Emperor's sacrificial process.

Therefore, at the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony, many famous scholars from Chang'an, literati and scholars had already come outside the Hall of the Emperor of the Emperor. Apart from this, naturally there were also great virtuous monks and Taoist priests of high merit.

Faming was also among them, but there was no young novice monk beside him. Standing beside him was a benevolent old monk who looked to be in his 50s.

This is Monk Yuantong, the abbot of Daxingshan Temple.

They had been looking forward to this sacrifice for a long time.

In addition to these "celebrities", there are many ordinary people on the high platforms and hillsides in the distance, as well as hungry refugees who have a little porridge and barely have some strength.

Their eyes were all focused on the Human Emperor's Palace, and they were all looking forward to the result of this sacrifice.

This will determine their next fate.

……

The process of offering sacrifices to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was not complicated, and the ceremony ended soon.

Li Shimin was a little disappointed, he didn't get any response, just like offering sacrifices to the Jade Emperor Haotian God and the holy ancestor Xuanyuan Emperor in the past.

No response.

"Maybe it will take a while to see." Li Shimin comforted himself in this way, "It should be so, after all, since ancient times, there has been no such thing as immediate results after offering sacrifices."

But even if he thought so in his heart, his heart was inevitably sad.

at this point……

How should Datang go in the future?

This made him stagger a little when he got up, but fortunately, Empress Changsun who was beside him helped him so that he didn't fall down.

Outside the Emperor's Palace.

The two old monks, Fa Ming and Yuan Tong, looked at the scene inside and were ecstatic in their hearts. The corners of their mouths couldn't help but wanted to rise, and they almost danced.

The day of great prosperity of Buddhism is coming!

Zheng!

But at this moment, suddenly there was a sword cry, like a crane chirping for nine days, piercing the universe.

I saw inside the Human Emperor's Palace, above the shrine——

The statue of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor suddenly erupted with extremely intense golden light, soaring into the sky until Xiaohan, reflecting in the eyes of everyone inside and outside.

The bright and righteous way is like an emperor coming in person!

Chapter 12 is just playing tricks

This is a scene that the people of Chang'an City have never seen before.

Even the golden dragon with its feet on the purple air before was far from being able to compare with the current golden light.

Anyone who saw this sword light felt as if they had seen the real Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the Godless Emperor, and couldn't help but want to pay homage to him, not daring to have any disobedience in his heart.

"The Human Sovereign Appears, The Human Sovereign Appears!!"

Such shouts did not know where they came from, but they spread throughout the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"The Human Sovereign has manifested, the Human Sovereign has manifested!!"

"Bless the ancestors, bless the ancestors, bless my wife and children to have a full meal!"

In a place far away from the Human Emperor's Hall, the ordinary people and refugees who were watching the sacrificial ceremony fell to their knees one after another, praying for safety and a full meal for themselves and their relatives.

And in a place nearer outside the Human Emperor's Hall, those literati, famous teachers and masters were all stunned, like clay sculptures, and did not move.

They were all shocked to the extreme, almost wondering if what they saw was a hallucination.

Especially the two old monks, Fa Ming and Yuan Tong, their eyes were so wide that their eyeballs were about to fall out.

The heart that had been excited just now sank in an instant, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on the originally raging flame, which directly let the two of them cool down from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet.

"How is this possible, how is it possible, Amitabha, Amitabha!"

"The Human Sovereign manifests, the Human Sovereign manifests?! The Buddha has never manifested, so why does the Human Sovereign manifest?!"

The two old monks almost doubted the monk.

In fact, not to mention them, even a contemporary emperor like Li Shimin can hardly maintain a calm demeanor.

Xuanyuan Huangdi suddenly burst into golden light and sword lights soaring into the sky, Li Shimin froze on the spot, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

It was still Empress Lan Xinhui, the eldest grandson, who quietly reminded him.
