Chapter 976: Fengshan Sacrifice Ceremony
In the process of climbing Mount Taishan, they encountered heavy rain, but the heavy rain did not last too long before it was dispersed by Su Xuan with supreme magic power. This scene entered the eyes of many people and was destined to become a memory they would never forget in their lives.
Not many people knew about Su Xuan's ability to call the wind and summon the rain.
Especially those from the Han State in the past.
Yes, it was Han Fei.
When he returned to his country and learned of Su Xuan, the first thing he knew was Su Xuan's ability to call the wind and summon the rain. At that time, Han Fei swore that Su Xuan's calling the wind and summoning the rain was just a scam, a trick.
The reason why he could summon heavy rain was because the rain itself would fall. Su Xuan just understood the laws of heaven and earth, discovered this, and used it.
Han Fei had this idea because of his teacher, Xun Zi.
Xun Zi once wrote "Heaven's Theory," stating that wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were all natural changes and had nothing to do with the human world.
This time, when Su Xuan dispersed the heavy rain, he also quoted words from Xun Zi's "Heaven's Theory." Although he said that this heavy rain was one of the laws of heaven and earth, the means Su Xuan displayed later did not look like the laws of heaven and earth.
He used human power to directly break this wind and rain.
"Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and all things in nature, can they also be changed by human power?"
Han Fei whispered to himself. Su Xuan's means made him yearn and shocked.
Beside him, Li Si also showed shock.
Xun Zi looked at the two shocked disciples beside him and said softly: "If the Heaven-Man realm is to be one with heaven and earth and use heaven and earth, then Your Excellency Xuantian has probably surpassed the Heaven-Man realm and reached the realm of changing heaven and earth with human power."
"Really amazing!"
Xun Zi was moved by Su Xuan's strength from the bottom of his heart.
Because the rain stopped, the Fengshan sacrifice team continued to head toward the top of Mount Taishan.
Su Xuan returned to the carriage.
Having dispersed a heavy rain casually, Su Xuan had no pride. He thought of another thing.
That was "Heaven's Mandate"!
Su Xuan was not unfamiliar with this thing called Heaven's Mandate, and he had even indirectly contacted it many times.
In ancient times, the Mysterious Lady descended to the world and gave Did Chi You the divine sword. That was Heaven's Mandate.
Did Chi You was tyrannical, and the Yellow Emperor rose. That was the second circulation of Heaven's Mandate.
It was not until Zhuanxu cut off the communication between heaven and earth and Emperor Yu cast the Nine Tripods and condensed the Nine Provinces barrier that the interference of the gods in the human world ended, and Heaven's Mandate could be considered to belong to the human world. But this encounter on the eastern tour gave Su Xuan some new feelings about Heaven's Mandate.
The first was the Bolangsha incident.
Even without Zhang Liang, the planner of the Bolangsha incident in original history, and even if the perpetrator Da Tiechui was already dead, this matter still happened, becoming the Xiang clan assassinating Qin at Bolangsha.
And the second thing was encountering heavy rain while climbing Mount Taishan for the Fengshan sacrifice.
This was also something that happened in original history.
But before this, one needed to understand one thing.
That was, because the Qin Guo unified the world earlier than in original history, whether it was the assassination at Bolangsha or the Fengshan sacrifice at Mount Taishan, it was not the time in original history.
At different times, they encountered similar things.
It was inevitable that Su Xuan would have some thoughts.
Earlier at the foot of Mount Taishan, he saw dark clouds and guessed it would rain, but because the time was different, he was not sure if the thing in history would happen. When he really arrived at the mountainside, the heavy rain fell abruptly.
This made Su Xuan ponder.
One thing could be attributed to coincidence, but two things could not be called coincidence.
"Is there a will of Heaven in the dark?"
Su Xuan thought secretly, and then he understood one thing.
That was, Heaven's Mandate could be rewritten.
Even if some things were destined long ago, they were not completely unrewritable.
Not to mention anything else, the pace of the Qin Guo unifying the world was faster than in the original work. Earlier, the Xiang clan assassinated Qin, and Xiang Yu, one of the culprits who destroyed the Qin Guo, was also killed.
Earlier, Zhao Gao also died.
Even this heavy rain was directly broken by Su Xuan.
This proved that everything could be changed.
The so-called predestination did not mean that no matter how you resisted, you could not break free from the shackles of fate.
Ultimately, man can conquer Heaven!
Soon, the carriage arrived at the top of Mount Taishan.
The top of Mount Taishan was extremely vast. In order to perform the Fengshan sacrifice, someone had already set up the altar here.
This altar was circular, representing the ancient saying of the round sky. Even though Seeing Ying Zheng had learned the true face of the world from Su Xuan, he finally followed the ancient legend and chose a circular altar. The altar was about five zhang in diameter and nine chi high. There were steps around it to climb the altar. And around this altar, there were altars for the Five Emperors of Green, Red, White, Black, and Yellow, and the scale was very grand.
After arriving here, Seeing Ying Zheng no longer stayed in the carriage, and many accompanying ministers walked out with him.
Standing at the top of Mount Taishan, even if Mount Taishan was not as high as the South Mountain or Mount Hua, Seeing Ying Zheng inexplicably had a feeling of looking down on the world.
Climbing to the top, looking at all the mountains small!
That was probably what it meant.
Because the auspicious time for the Fengshan sacrifice had not yet arrived, Seeing Ying Zheng waited for a while with everyone.
Until the auspicious time arrived, Seeing Ying Zheng gave an order: "Start!"
After receiving Seeing Ying Zheng's order, the voice of the ritual official sounded suddenly.
"The auspicious time has arrived, start the offering!"
Suddenly, many animals prepared in advance, such as white deer, pigs, white yaks, etc., were slaughtered on the spot, and Prime Minister Wang Wan stepped forward, representing the Emperor, and buried the jade tablets prepared long ago under the altar, sealing them with five-colored soil.
Besides that, there were many soldiers who released some strange wild beasts into the mountains and forests.
With the slaughter of the sacrifices, a strong smell of blood spread.
Seeing Ying Zheng did not feel anything inappropriate. He watched everyone place the slaughtered sacrifices on the altar one by one, then tidied up his clothes, put on the twelve-tassel Pingtian crown made of white jade beads, and stepped on the steps of the altar step by step, heading toward the highest point of the altar.
It is worth mentioning that at this moment, Seeing Ying Zheng was not wearing a sword.
This scene looked a bit strange, but no one said anything. Everyone just thought that the sword was a fierce weapon, and the sacrifice to heaven was a big event, so the Emperor did not want to carry such a fierce weapon with him.
Afterward, everyone's eyes were fixed, and their ears were pricked up.
Only because Seeing Ying Zheng opened his mouth and recited the oath of sacrifice to heaven.
