The years are like a long river, flowing endlessly.
Since Cheng Tang revolutionized the tripod and established the tripod in the Central Plains, Shang Dynasty has been passed down for dozens of generations.
The fortune of the dynasty is like the tide, with ups and downs. After Pan Geng moved to Yin and other rejuvenation moves, it has now passed into the hands of the thirty-first Human Emperor--Di Xin.
This Di Xin is gifted and intelligent, with extraordinary strength and courage.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he also worked hard to govern and forge ahead with determination.
He reused virtuous ministers, such as Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bi Gan, etc., to rectify the government internally and develop agriculture and mulberry; externally, he dispatched the grand master Wen Zhong, a high disciple of the Interception Sect, who held the position of Twin Golden Whips., led the Shang Dynasty army to conquer Quanrong in the north, conquered Yue Tribes in the south, pacified the Yi people in the east, and conquered Qiangfang in the west, sweeping through the rebels and expanding the territory of the Shang Dynasty to an unprecedented breadth, conquering all the Yi people, and attracting all nations to come to court.
For a time, Shang Dynasty's national power reached its peak, Chaoge City was prosperous, Human Race Destiny was steaming, and there was a hint of purple in the red gold aura, revealing the supreme majesty of the Huanghuang Emperor.
However, despite its prosperity, hidden dangers are also quietly growing.
Years of conquests have expanded the territory, but they have also consumed national power, and the people have gradually become exhausted.
Di Xin himself, as his power and prestige increased day by day, the stubbornness, arrogance and lewdness hidden in his bones began to emerge.
He likes curios and builds palaces, and gradually he can't listen to unfavorable advice. He only thinks that the world is at peace, and that his achievements are Three Sovereigns, and the German Super League is Five Emperors.
On this day, Di Xin came to court on the Nine-Room Hall.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were arranged on both sides, with Shang Rong and Bi Gan as the heads of the civil service, and Wen Zhong as the leader of the military service. The atmosphere was solemn.
Prime Minister Shang Rong, a veteran of three dynasties, holds a jade gui and goes out to perform the sermon.
"Your Majesty, today the world is at peace and all the people are happy and prosperous, all thanks to your Majesty's virtue. However, plants and trees have roots, and when drinking water, remember the source. On March 15th next month, it will be Nuwa Holy Mother On the day of Christmas, Holy Mother is the mother of me, Human Race, who made humans out of clay and refined stones, Mending the Heavens, which has immeasurable merits and virtues. Please come to the Nuwa Palace and drop incense as a reward for your saintly virtues, and pray that I, Great Shang, will have good weather and prosperous country!"
Nuwa Holy Mother has an extremely respected status in Human Race's heart. On Christmas Day, Human Emperor goes to offer sacrifices in person, which is a rule and an important ceremony to show that Human Emperor respects heaven, respects his ancestors, and inherits the destiny of heaven to rule the world.
Di Xin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
Now that he is so satisfied, he is already a little impatient with these red tapes.
But offering sacrifices to Holy Mother is related to the national system and the orthodoxy of humanity. He also knew that it should not be taken lightly, so he pondered for a while and then explained.
"This is what you have been told by Qing Qing. To pass on my decree, I ordered you to prepare immediately. I will personally go to the Nuwa Palace to offer incense in the coming day."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
All the ministers shouted in unison.
On the auspicious day of March 15th, Chaoge City clean water was sprinkled on the streets, loess was paved on the roads, the imperial guards stood in awe, and the guards of honor were bright.
Di Xin rode Nine Dragon Agarwood Chariot, surrounded by civil and military officials, and left the south gate of Chaoge in a mighty manner, heading to the Nuwa Palace located in the south of the city.
This Nuwa Palace is extremely magnificent and magnificent, with majestic palaces and glazed tiles that shine with colorful brilliance in the spring sunshine.
The palace gate was heavily guarded, and the palace was filled with smoke and solemnity.
The people knelt down on both sides of the road from a distance, saying long live and not daring to look up.
Di Xin got off the carriage and, accompanied by Shang Rong, Bi Gan and other important ministers, walked slowly into the main hall of the Nuwa Palace.
The light inside the temple is slightly deep, adding a bit of a sacred atmosphere.
On the altar in the center, there is not only one sacred elephant, but two sacred elephants enshrined side by side!
The one on the left is naturally the Nuwa Holy Mother that Human Race shares.
The idol is carved from Five-Colored Divine Stone. It is solemn, compassionate and holy. It holds Qiankun Cauldron in its hand, as if it is ready to refine the stone Mending the Heavens at any time to protect the common people.
Its whole body is shrouded in a faint aura of creation, which makes people feel peaceful and awe-inspiring when they look at it.
And beside the Nuwa Holy Mother statue, there is actually a Qingxuan Holy Father statue juxtaposed with it!
This image was carved with the heart of Jianmu, and is lifelike. The face is blurry, but it carries a profound artistic conception of understanding all things and controlling power.
The clear light flowing around the idol seems to echo the concept of "power" of the entire Primordial World.
Since Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Qingxuan's deeds of protecting Human Race and manifesting the saint many times have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Its status in Human Race sacrifices has been juxtaposed with Nuwa Holy Mother, sharing the incense and respect of Human Race.
Two holy elephants stand side by side, one representing creation and life, the other representing strength and protection, together forming the highest totem of Human Race faith.
Under the guidance of Shang Rong, Di Xin burned incense and knelt down on the futon in front of the altar.
According to the etiquette, he needs to recite sacrificial inscriptions, express gratitude for Holy Mother, Holy Father's kindness, and pray for blessings.
However, just as he burned the third stick of incense and wisps of green smoke curled up, lingering between the two sacred elephants, a strange wind suddenly swept in from outside the temple!
This wind came unexpectedly and impartially, blowing away the heavy curtains that shielded the sacred image of Nuwa, making Nuwa Holy Mother's majestic and compassionate face appear in front of Di Xin's eyes with incomparable clarity.
All the ministers and guards in the palace lowered their heads and took a breath, not daring to look directly at the holy elephant. Only Di Xin, just when he raised his head and was about to recite the sacrificial inscription, saw the holy face clearly!
