Chapter 648

Subsequently, he stood up and bowed again, not inserting the incense in his hand into the incense table until the third time.

Every time Ying Zheng bowed, the civil and military officials behind him would kneel on the ground one after another.

Ying Zheng bowed three times, and they also kowtowed heavily three times.

When the incense in Ying Zheng's hand was inserted into the incense table, the civil and military officials stood up from the ground one after another.

Then one by one, they began to offer incense.

But not everyone had the qualifications to appear before the incense table.

After those first-rank officials finished offering incense, the ceremony proceeded to the next link.

During this process, the Moon Goddess's dance steps on the high platform had never changed.

She still maintained the frequency from the beginning, dancing continuously.

The smoke rising from the incense on the incense table slowly drifted toward the sky.

It was as if it were a bridge connecting and communicating with the gods in heaven.

Ying Mo looked toward the trajectory of this incense.

He did not know how this craftsman made it.

This incense.

The smoke emitted was truly flying straight toward the horizon.

It was not interfered with by the breeze in the sky at all.

Those blowing breezes did not cause the trajectory of this incense to change at all.

"How long will the prayer ceremony last?"

Ying Mo turned his head to look at Lu Li beside him.

"Reporting to Young Master, the entire ceremony will last for three days."

Lu Li said.

"Within these three days, the dance performed during the prayer cannot stop?"

Ying Mo asked again.

Lu Li nodded.

A hint of realization flashed in Ying Mo's eyes.

No wonder Ying Zheng chose to let the Moon Goddess serve as the witch for this time.

It was truly because there was no witch who could persist for three full days like the Moon Goddess.

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Ying Zheng and the civil and military officials below stayed at the top of Zhong Shan the whole time.

Every time it reached a fixed time, someone would offer incense and sing sacrificial songs.

At other times, Ying Zheng and the officials below would rest a little.

Only the Moon Goddess on the high platform maintained a fixed frequency, dancing the prayer dance.

When time ticked minute by minute to the last few moments,

Eunuch Zhuo moved quietly to Ying Zheng's side.

"Your Majesty, the ceremony is about to end."

Before it started, Ying Zheng had reminded him to tell him when it was about to end.

Ying Zheng listened to the small eunuch's words and gave a gentle "en."

Subsequently, he looked up at the sky above his head.

Zhong Shan was still a considerable distance from the Northwest Territory.

So it was impossible to judge here whether the Northwest Territory truly received rain from heaven.

Fortunately, in a while, the ceremony would end.

At the moment the ceremony ended, three more distant bell sounds came.

The Moon Goddess, who had been dancing the prayer dance continuously on the high platform, finally stopped her movements slowly upon hearing these three bell sounds.

Although her strength was high, these three days of no sleep and no rest, plus dancing the prayer dance continuously,

for her, still had some pressure.

"State Preceptor, the prayer ceremony has ended; when exactly will the Northwest Territory receive rain from heaven?"

Just as it ended, Ying Zheng could not help but come before the Moon Goddess.

He was more concerned about this question than anyone else now.

Once it did not rain in the Northwest Territory, the impact on him would be huge.

After all, the news had already spread out long before.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; by tomorrow at the latest, the Northwest Territory will definitely receive heavy rain from heaven."

The Moon Goddess looked up at the sky and said with a calm voice.

The things she foresaw through the power of the stars would never go wrong.

And they had never gone wrong.

By tomorrow at the latest, the Northwest Territory would definitely receive heavy rain from heaven.

Ying Zheng nodded with half-belief; he had already done this much, so he had to believe it.

At this moment, his body had been pushed to the limit; originally weak, after forcibly enduring for three days, he was finally unable to handle it anymore.

After receiving the affirmative reply, he braced himself and got onto the sedan chair.

As soon as he sat in, he could not help but collapse on it.

Besides Ying Zheng, those civil and military officials 893 were not much better off.

Quite a few people were also carried down.

But at this time, Ying Zheng was too lazy to care.

The Northwest Territory was still far from here; if the news were to be sent back, it was afraid it would still take a day's effort.

Ying Mo sat on the treetop, watching the entire ceremony quietly.

Not until the ceremony ended did he slowly stand up from the tree.

He also looked at the sky above his head.

"You say, will the Northwest Territory really receive heavy rain from heaven tomorrow?"

Ying Mo said thoughtfully.

Lu Li's eyes flickered, and then she opened her mouth to say to Ying Mo,

"In the Jianghu, there are many capable people and strange scholars."

"Since this person has the ability to sit as the State Preceptor of Great Qin, it shows that the skills under her command are real."

"After such a toss, I am afraid the matter should be true."

Lu Li said earnestly.

No one had yet dared to play tricks in front of the Great Qin Emperor.

Those men in black before could not, and she did not think this State Preceptor could either.

On the contrary, that person must have been certain that this matter would definitely happen before causing so many things.

Ying Mo heard Lu Li's words, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He was also looking forward to the news sent back by the ancestors tomorrow.

By comparison, he actually hoped that this matter was true.

Northwest Territory,

Ever since receiving Ying Mo's order, Yuan Zuozong had arrived in the Northwest Territory in the fastest time.

The Northwest Territory had always had their manpower here,

after all, Ying Mo had arranged for a portion of people to distribute food here before, so that the people of the Northwest Territory could tide over the difficulties.

After Yuan Zuozong rushed to the Northwest Territory, he took over this group of people at the first opportunity.

At this moment, the tax silver from before had long since been spent, with only half left.
