Chapter 852: Chapter 508: The Grand Fengshan Ceremony (6)
(Good brothers, please refresh around 7:30 tomorrow morning, there will be an announcent in the title… uh, sorry, recently Little Rong is a bit frail)
————
East side of the foot of Sacrificial Moon Mountain.
On a small hill filled with exotic beasts and auspicious signs, the Earth Altar’s Report to the Earth ceremony continued.
Amidst the clear recitation of the young Confucian Scholar, dressed in white as snow.
On the altar, the young emperor of Great Li, wearing a broad bright yellow ceremonial robe, knelt in reverence.
At the base of the Earth Altar, a group of Academy Confucian Scholars danced in strange postures.
The people of Great Li almost crowded the small hill, watching silently alongside the nobles of Li Court led by the Dugushu Clan.
The crowd did not notice a previously indifferent and stern female teacher, whose gaze toward the stage gradually changed, and she beca increasingly silent.
Aside from this suddenly awkward dancing section at the beginning, the ritual on the Earth Altar proceeded according to plan.
About half an hour later, the Earth Altar ceremony concluded.
The young emperor of Great Li stepped down from the Earth Altar with solemnity, where a group of Sacrificial Confucian Scholars awaited with a chariot.
The chariot was pulled by nine white horses, with cattail wrappings on the wheels to avoid damaging the flora and stones on the road up Sacrificial Moon Mountain.
The young emperor of Great Li boarded the chariot, with Zhao Rong, the chief sacrificer, acting as the driver.
The chariot set off, with the other Sacrificial Confucian Scholars following closely behind without stepping out of line.
The Dugushu Clan led the ministers and citizens of Great Li, accompanying the young emperor’s chariot, tightly in pursuit.
The crowd resembled the surface of a still erald pond split open, the calm water flowing actively toward that opening.
At the forefront, the young Confucian Scholar in white rode a horse, carrying the young emperor of Great Li westward, slowly ascending to the summit of Sacrificial Moon Mountain.
…
This is an abandoned relic.
Perhaps it was once a magnificent city, whose builder is unknown, now leaving only a ground of crumbling ruins.
The ruins are covered with Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flowers.
All the buildings have decayed, yet these Bright Moon Flowers tenaciously sprout from the crevices of the collapsed ancient structures, blooming exuberantly.
The Ruins City is surrounded and covered from above by black stone walls.
Ancient and hard, their age is unknown.
But they are etched with the marks of ti, with occasional remnants of murals and text, long faded to be unclear by the flow of the Ti River, few residual paintings evoking imagination.
This place seems like a hollowed-out underground, like a massive ancient stone coffin, ticulously sealing these ruins.
The entire space is bowl-shaped, narrowing upward until a near-circular do.
Its exact location is unknown, seemingly an unknowable place.
The ruins are perated with an ancient stale odor, the air is extrely silent, as if the stone coffin was filled with the heavy silt of history, solidifying and making it hard to breathe.
The atmosphere carried an indescribable desolation and solitude.
Within the ruins, so peculiar structures occasionally stood, fearso prohibitions still seemingly intact.
These ancient structures have an exotic tribal style, exuding a hint of mystery.
Aside from the pervasive Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flowers, the only light source in this unknown place’s ruins cos from the do above.
The do is unusually peculiar.
It is circular.
Half is pitch-black rock, while the other half… is a crescent moon.
A crescent moon with a blue glazed appearance.
To be precise, the do is constructed of blue glazed material, shaped as a crescent moon.
It complents and joins with the rocky do, forming this circular top.
At this ti, above the ruins, the blue glazed crescent moon do allowed soft blue light to filter down.
Thus, this is a relic shrouded in soft blue light.
Above the glazed do, so liquid substance seems to flow and change constantly.
Thus causing the soft blue light that filters through to change incessantly.
Soti bright, soti dim, sotis faint, sotis dense.
Creating a strange and ethereal picture.
Due to the crescent moon glazed do’s position and the refraction of light.
This tranquil changing blue light falling upon the ruins below is unevenly distributed.
And among them, there is a spot where the light shines the most, located near the center of the ruins, a peculiar pavilion.
This pavilion is made of pure crystal, with the tables and chairs inside the sa.
At this mont, under the illumination of that soft blue light.
The Crystal Pavilion glowed brilliantly, exceptionally radiant.
It is also the relatively better-preserved structure in the entire ruin, its crystal diamond-like material seemingly allows it to better withstand the erosion of passing ti.
Standing tall and unyielding.
Around the Crystal Pavilion, there is a hot spring pool, surprisingly with live water, from the spring at the bottom constantly bubbling up with steaming hot water…
Adding a touch of vitality to the ancient and dilapidated ruins.
Next to the hot spring pool, Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flowers bloom abundantly compared to other areas.
At this mont, if a young Confucian Scholar were present, the combination of the pavilion and the hot spring pool would definitely seem incredibly familiar to him.
As if he had seen it sowhere not long ago…
However, there is no Beauty Couch inside the Crystal Pavilion at this ti.
Only tables and chairs carved of crystal.
With arches perfect like a piece of art.
Yet these are not the most eye-catching items within the pavilion at this mont.
Inside the pavilion, quietly placed on the crystal table, is a remarkably clean court skirt.
Folded neatly without a single crease, placed by the table edge as if convenient for its owner to pick up at will.
It’s unknown what material this finely folded court garnt is made of, but the soft fabric appears azure gold.
At a glance, it imparts an incredibly noble impression, not a common item.
