Chapter 7 Wu Weiyi Temple of Heaven Viewing the God Ding

"Supreme Immortal, Yufu City is not far ahead."

After about two or three hours, the group arrived at a city gate. Wu Weiyi looked at the city wall and saw that the city wall was very majestic and upright. Banners were flying above the city. Every time there was about twenty steps, a soldier stood guard and looked at him. These soldiers were all wearing bronze bronze armor, holding long-handled spears, majestic and solemn, which made people feel a little scared.

"Open the city gate quickly, it's the prince who has returned to the city!"

The front-hand scout of Wang Zijiang rushed to the city gate and shouted to the city tower. The non-commissioned officers patrolling the city on the top of the city looked down at the city. It turned out to be Wang Zijiang's convoy, so they ordered people to put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate. Then they saw two rows of guards listed from the left and right sides of the city gate. After each took his seat, they knelt on the ground and bowed and shouted:

"Welcome the prince back to Beijing."

Only when two rows of guards shouted in unison, Wang Zijiang's imperial coachman started again and slowly drove into the city.

Wu Weiyi was not idle all the way. Perhaps because of a professional instinct, he would often look out of the car when he was sitting in the car and observe the customs and customs here.

"Prince, it's spring now, and it should be the busiest season for farming. Why are the old, weak, women and children working in the ground along the way?"

After entering the city, Wu Weiyi asked Du Jiang. Du Jiang heard the immortal ask this question, but did not answer positively, but just replied respectfully:

"The immortals don't know anything. Now the way of heaven in Shu Kingdom will have some variables soon. The so-called "the major affairs of the country are sacrificed and soldier." The Temple of Heaven, which sacrifices the gods of heaven and earth, has not been repaired for a long time. Therefore, recently, some civil servants have been transferred to worship the Temple of Heaven and Heaven to work day and night, and dare not make any mistakes."

Wu Weiyi turned his head, but he was silent. Seeing that the immortals were silent all the way, Du Jiang seemed a little unhappy, he asked in a low voice:

"The Supreme Immortal? What do you think is negligence? But I think that if our subjects in Shu have been disrespectful to the heaven and sacrifice to the gods for a long time, they may be contrary to the laws of heaven?"

Wu Weiyi heard Du Jiang ask this, but he still remained silent.

Seeing that the Supreme Immortal was still indifferent, Du Jiang made a gesture with the groom in the imperial carriage. The groom in the carriage was also understanding it. After slowly pulling the carriage, he got off the carriage. Wang Zijiang moved to the seat of the imperial carriage, and then made a special trip to drive the carriage for the "Shangxian".

The carriage that Wang Zijiang drove was indeed different from that of ordinary coachmen. Five tall horses seemed to understand the command. The sound of the horse's hooves falling to the ground was actually clear rhythm, sometimes cheerful and sometimes loud, and the carriage seemed to be more steady.

"In ancient times, King Wen pulled a cart for Jiang Taigong for 800 steps. According to legend, Jiang Taigong promised Wen's foundation for 800 years. Today, I am willing to control the horses of the Supreme Immortal, only to ensure that the Supreme Immortal can keep our Shu Kingdom peaceful and the country's life will last for a long time."

After saying that, Wang Zijiang drove a carriage and turned several bends in the alleyway in the city, and finally arrived at an open place.

"Please look at the Immortal, this is the sacrifice platform."

Wu Weiyi looked into the distance and saw that the Temple of Heaven was square vertebrae, which was more than a hundred meters high, all of which were made of huge stones. The middle of the four triangles was made of a stairway with awls, leading to the highest top. Each passage roughly estimated to have at least two or three hundred steps.

Wu Weiyi looked towards the top of the Temple of Heaven again, but something caught Wu Weiyi's attention. He couldn't help but stand up and screamed:

"Isn't that...that...the Jiuzhou Divine Cauldron?"

While driving the carriage, Wang Zijiang looked back at Wu Weiyi and said with a smile:

"Oh? The immortal can recognize this thing?"

Wu Weiyi quickly said:

"Of course I recognize it, but for some reason this tripod is placed here?"

Seeing Wu Weiyi asking this, Wang Zijiang did not dare to neglect it, and immediately replied:

"If the immortal didn't know this, I would have no way to know it. It's strange, that is, the Minjiang River flooded a flood, flooding many parts of our Sichuan. After that, when the flood receded, the Chinese people actually fished out this cauldron from the mud of a lake bed. My father thought this was a magical object, so he built a sacrifice platform here to serve this cauldron."

Wu Weiyi thought about it carefully, and then said to Wang Zijiang in a low voice:

"Prince, I want to climb this sacrificial platform to watch the divine tripod, I wonder if it is possible?"

Wang Zijiang immediately replied:

"Of course, please give me your own benefit."

So Wang Zijiang drove the carriage to the steps to the altar. Wu Weiyi got off the carriage and climbed step by step towards the divine tripod in the center of the Temple of Heaven.

Since the renovation project of the Temple of Heaven has not been completely completed, I saw a slope of temporary bamboo scaffolding around it, and a layer of thick solid wood boards were laid on the scaffolding. A group of people were crowded in this narrow and long scaffolding passage, pulling the front and pushing the rear, transporting the huge stones to the rooftop.

Wu Weiyi went to the Temple of Heaven and looked down at the stage, and saw the ignition from the stage soaring into the sky, and smoke was shrouded in smoke. It turned out that a large stove was built under the stage, and white smoke came out from the middle. Several thin deep grooves came out of the bottom, and rolling plaster was poured into various molds. A group of people surrounded the stove, hammered, sawed, and chiseled with various tools in front of the mounds built by each.

At this moment, a heart-wrenching scream came from a distance. It turned out that a man accidentally fell from the scaffolding of the Temple of Heaven. Then another collision sound came. The man fell heavily on the ground, and his flesh was immediately blurred and died without treatment. However, the people around him seemed quite numb, as if they had nothing to do with him.

When Wu Weiyi saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel furious. Wu Weiyi naturally understood that although the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China was the end of slavery, slavery was still slavery after all, and not many people would care about the life or death of a slave. However, after all, Wu Weiyi felt it so immersively, it still caused a lot of discomfort.

Wu Weiyi shook his head, sighed and continued to climb to the top of the sacrificial rooftop.

"The Divine Cauldron is right in front of me! Let's go back to reality soon! I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment."

Wu Weiyi was muttering that he finally climbed to the Temple of Heaven. Wu Weiyi gradually approached this big cauldron, but when he saw it accurately, he was suddenly disappointed:

"It's really strange! Before, when the prince's tomb was approaching the cauldron, his chest was already so dull that he had already come to death! But why does this cauldron look so ordinary now?"

He found that although the square cauldron now has the same appearance and style as the Jiuzhou Divine Cauldron he saw in the tomb of Prince Chao, the only difference is the color of the cauldron. Originally, in the tomb of Prince Chao, he clearly saw a square cauldron full of white and bright silver light. However, the square cauldron now has a red and purple body, and the color is obviously much darker.

"Hey, it seems that I have to stay in this ghost place for a while."

In addition to disappointment, Wu Weiyi slowly walked down from the Temple of Heaven, which was different from when he was ascending to the altar. Because when he climbed to the altar, his eyes were raised straight and looking upwards, Wu Weiyi had never noticed the gazes of the servants and slaves along the way. Wu Weiyi walked down the Temple of Heaven and was looked at by these people all the way. There was a faint resentment and badness in those eyes, which made Wu Weiyi feel uncomfortable and even more creepy.

Back on the carriage, Wang Zijiang immediately asked with concern:

"Supreme Immortal, can you please enjoy the sacrifice to the rooftop here?"

Wu Weiyi just smiled and replied simply:

“Very good.”

After Wu Weiyi finished speaking, he stopped commenting, and Wang Zijiang's convoy drove again towards the direction of the palace.

Not long after, Wang Zijiang's convoy stopped beside a stable.

"Shangxian, not far ahead is the palace of our Shu Kingdom. There are rules in this palace. Once you enter the palace, you have to get off the car and walk. Therefore, there is still a few steps to drive."

Wu Weiyi was originally just an ordinary historian, but he never thought that although he encountered a disaster after traveling through time, he would have been inexplicably treated by a prince, so he was naturally a little uncomfortable. What's more, he knew that he was not a real god, and he could only have the ability to "predict the unknown" to survive. Therefore, he was really uneasy to receive this treatment.

Wu Weiyi hurriedly waved his hand and signaled:

"Prince Yan is heavy, it doesn't matter if he doesn't matter."

After getting off the carriage, Wu Weiyi followed Wang Zijiang through a palace gate. After walking through the narrow palace passage, his vision instantly widened, and he saw a towering and solemn palace located in the center of the square.

Wang Zijiang led Wu Weiyi all the way into the hall, and saw that the scene in the hall was extremely luxurious. Various rare treasures were placed around the hall, and from the main entrance, there was a dragon-shaped sculpture in the middle of the hall. The highness had two rows of side seats on each side, and there were about 17 or 18 seats from the main seat to the hall gate.
