But after that, although the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties maintained sacrifices to the Queen Mother of the West, the description of her in the classics was blank until King Mu of Zhou visited the west.
Only when we arrived at Kunlun Mountain did we set a new record.
Speaking of which, Zhao Qing expressed doubts about whether the Queen Mother of the West whom King Zhou Mu saw was the one from ancient times.
After all, judging from the earlier deeds, the cultivation level of the Queen Mother of the West should be between that of the Yellow Emperor and Dayi and Dayu, closer to the former, and far surpassing King Mu who has not yet reached the "Tian Yan" realm. It seems that
It is impossible to condescend to meet a weak person easily.
However, the legend that King Mu of Zhou received the immortal magic and elixir of immortality after visiting the Queen Mother of the West has been widely spread and is quite true.
As for "Dong Huanggong", the known information is that except that he is the god opposite to the Queen Mother of the West and lives in the hibiscus tree overseas, there is no other content. It seems to be quite symbolic and the character is thin.
So, is there some connection between the "Taiyi God" of Chu and the "Donghuang Gong" of Yue? Sorting through the information collected, Zhao Qing was thoughtful and couldn't help but think of "
The name Donghuang Taiyi".
Since it was already late, she said goodbye to Wen Gao and took Mr. Yu back to her residence in King Yu's ancestral temple. After eating the dinner prepared by Rui Xi, she began to practice martial arts that lasted all night.
…
The next day, in the eastern suburbs of Kuaiji City, 30,000 well-equipped gentlemen's troops stood in neat formation on the square in front of the altar, with flags like a sea, and their military appearance was in full bloom.
In front of the army's formation, there stood a 900-foot-high rammed earth platform, divided into nine layers and three layers. The surface was covered with bluestone and white jade. At the top sat a majestic hall with a beautifully carved copper base.
Giant pillar support.
Outside the main hall in the center, there are many high platforms and towers, and auspicious beasts, either made of stone or bronze, can be seen everywhere. It is open, sacred and full of atmosphere. Every gate, aisle and corridor is guarded by elite soldiers armed with armor.
And in a large area hundreds of feet away from the military formation, there were densely packed heads. Basically, they were the famous wealthy businessmen, celebrities and heroes in Kuaiji City. They spontaneously came to watch the ceremony and wanted to watch the grand ceremony that was to follow.
Zhao Qing, Yuan Gong, and most of the students from the martial arts academy were no exception. They came here specially and each found a higher position, preparing to see the top powerhouses and high-level officials in the Yue Kingdom who were rarely seen in daily life.
In particular, King Gou Jian of Yue, who represented the highest level of ruler in the Yue Kingdom and was currently recognized as one of the top five masters in the Yue Kingdom, particularly aroused her curiosity. Although there was a long distance between them, she also wanted to
Want to know something.
From the towering bell tower on the middle floor of the eastern suburbs altar, the huge sound of the copper bell came, one after another, seven or forty-nine times. The exciting sound waves passed through the medium of heaven and earth vitality, and instantly resounded for hundreds of miles around.
Spreading across the vast mountains and plains.
Zhou Li stipulates that the emperor's bell should sound ninety-nine and eighty-one, and the princes' bells should sound seventy-nine and seventy-nine. The only exception is the state of Lu, the fiefdom of Duke Zhou. It was specially granted the specifications of the emperor's ritual music and can also ring out the bells.
Eighty-one rings.
But for the Yue State, which had long been king by exceeding the rules, this kind of regulation was not important. The reason why they only knocked forty-nine times was actually to show respect for the State of Wu and to live under the standards of the State of Wu.
.
At this time, at the end of the afternoon, the sun was rising in the sky, shining brightly on the earth. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was wearing a light sword and was led by the ceremonial officer wearing leather bedding and holding a jade gui and the wizard holding a staff and a solemn expression.
, slowly climbed up the steps of the altar.
Following closely behind him were Yu Yi, who was wearing the robe of the prince, and the five most important senior officials, Sikong Fanli, Situ Wenzhong, Sima Zhujiying, Sikou Futong, and Simong Gaoru.
Dazai Kucheng, Si Zhihaojin, two junior Sima Jiyong, Gongzi Canggui, as well as Lord Gumi, Lord Dongou, Lord Shigong, Lord Juzhang, Lord Luchi, Lord Buye, Lord Zhuya and other feudal lords who came.
The nobles and nobles lined up behind them one after another, neatly and orderly, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
