Yunyao sat in the corner of the tent to practice for a night. Without the Seven-Star Array, it is difficult to control the rhythm of luck. He can only be at a constant speed. The effect of cultivation is obviously not as good as that of the Seven-Star Array. Fortunately, he can go back tomorrow after completing the archery ceremony, which will not be too late.

The next day, before dawn, there were noises and drums outside. The stuttering ceremony began early in the morning because there were several links. It started with the assembly.

Zhou Gongdan was an official in Zhou State, and now the acting monarch is Bo Qin, the eldest son of Zhou Duke. He came to the fiefdom of Lu State and worked diligently for three years to return to Zhou State to report to his father and explain the situation of Lu State. Zhou Gongdan said that Lu State would be defeated by Qi State because the monarch of Qi State Jiang Ziya only took half a year to stabilize the situation and quickly reported the situation of Zhou Emperor Qi State, but his son spent three years too indecisive and would definitely suffer a loss, but Qi State was right next to Lu State.

Get in the car.

The scene was filled with drums and drums, and colorful flags were waving. All the nobles took a craftsmanship to show the power of a country. The number of chariots was the only criterion for the prosperity of the country. The more chariots the country became stronger, and the large number of chariots gathered together in the silence of the rites represented the strength of Lu. Nearly 300 chariots gathered together, it seemed that the nobles and doctors were very proud of their face.

The chariots are arranged according to their titles. Yun Yao is at the end of the nobles because she is the youngest baron.

The higher the title, the more grand the chariot is. Not only the size of the horse, the specifications of the car, but also the clothes of the people and the color of the flag. The higher the title, the more the ticket is, the more refined and sturdy the horse is, the more refined and sturdy the car is, the more decent and expensive the clothes are, and the more majestic and grand the flag is.

Yunyao stands out among the barons, but it is completely incomparable to the higher ranks, and the difference is too far. However, Yunyao was not here to make up for the numbers. Today she is going to surpass the heroes and become famous. She is an alien in the Zhou rituals.

The acting king Boqin drove his own solid-color four-horse chariot, inspected the nobles, and inspected the strength of the country.

The drums were slow and powerful, and no one was making noise. Even the Chinese people watching the fun on the outside dared to make any noise. Only the drums were wandering in the sound of the wind.

Anyway, there are people who lead the horse, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find their place. Yun Yao just stands in the car for inspection and can experience the solemn atmosphere of the Western Zhou Games, just like the Zhou people are not only holding a sports meeting, but also like completing a major mission of the integration of heaven and man.

In short, Yunyao was present at the scene and couldn't help but look serious and did not dare to neglect her treatment.

After the king walked back and forth three times, the first phase of the military parade was over, and the next was to sacrifice to the heavens.

How could a large-scale event be missed in offering sacrifices to heaven? The altar of the high treasury is a half-man-high bronze tripod surrounded by colorful feathers and witches wearing solid furs, dancing an unknown dance around the bronze tripod.

Under the altar, right in front of the six dances, there are drums standing on both sides, namely dance teams and drum bands. This is a high-level sacrifice. It is not just burning some sacrifices, just kneeling down and worshiping. There are dance teams and drum bands performing, expressing their respect for God visually and auditoryly.

Zhou Gongdan was the duke and the highest rank of princes, so the sacrifices of Lu were lower than those of the Zhou emperor. The emperor was the dance of the eight eleven eleven, and Lu used the six eleven, which was actually different in number.

The Zhou Emperor had the largest number of dance teams, with eight people in each row, with a total of eight columns, which is 64 people.

The lower one is the dance of six rosters, six people in one row, a total of six rows, which is thirty-six people.

The dancers wore a unified big red robe, all of whom were graceful women. They wore complex hairstyles and were filled with exquisite gold and silver headdresses. They danced gracefully with the drum beats, connecting the heavenly beings in their original dance postures, conveying the humble prayers of the human race.

The drums keep dancing non-stop.

Yunyao was led to the altar, with the baron standing at the end, Yunyao was short and could not see the dance performance. However, even if she stood at the end, she could see the acting king walking up to the high altar with the help of several people, and he was striking every step.

What we are doing now is the second part - sacrifice.

Yun Yao pricked up his ears and listened, the king began to speak the lines. The general content was to bless Lu's country and the people's peace and prosperity, and the weather was very long, just as long as the future leaders' speeches.

Then the king led everyone to worship the heavens and knelt in front of the bronze tripod.

Crazy, kings, nobles, doctors, dancers, drummers, and Chinese people, everyone kneeled down, and it was a huge crowd.

Of course, it also includes Yun Yao. This is not kneeling on the king, but kneeling on the sky. It is like when the fiefs and sacrifices are being offered, the Chinese and savages are not kneeling on Yun Yao, but also kneeling on the sky.

Fire lit in the bronze tripod, and the witches would throw the sacrifices into it and burn it. Yunyao saw straw dogs for the first time. Not only straw dogs, but other livestock that were slaughtered with thatch were thrown into the bronze tripod by the wizard.

Yunyao originally thought he was a stingy man on behalf of the king, but later he realized that this was not a stingy man, but a sacrificial step, because the next ash would be distributed to each nobleman, and some would be painted on his face and some would be taken home and scattered into the land of the fief.

Although he did not kill pigs and sheep, he was solemn enough and had a sense of ritual. By the way, he strengthened the monarch's leadership over the nobles. Taking the ashes back and sprinkling them on the land was considered as the monarch's oath of sovereignty over the land of the country.

After that, we will have to have a meal, and while eating, we will perform ejaculation.

The archery ceremony is divided into three stages: performing archery, fixed-point archery, and chariot archery.

The king and the nobles could sit on the wooden platform, and the other doctors sat under the stage. Each of them had a short table with tableware on it.

The food will be brought to the table for sharing. The one who cuts the food is the cook, the one who serves the wine is the drinker, the one who carries the salt is the salt, the one who distributes the meat sauce is the sauce, and the one who covers the food is the squid.

This is a long banquet, so there is a dedicated person to cover the food. If the guests leave, cover the food to avoid falling from dust.

The food is very particular and the food is very rich. No wonder the barons think of keeping their stomachs for a big meal at the ejaculation ceremony. They either come to participate in the ejaculation ceremony, they come to have a meal.

Yun Yao sat at the end, and the food he received was the worst scraps, but the taste was OK and he was cooked with care. This is the starting point of Chinese food civilization. Although the ingredients are limited and the seasoning is scarce, his attitude towards food is as serious and rigorous as thousands of years later. As expected, the pursuit of food is one of the driving forces for the tireless development of life.

The king has two teams, one is in charge of the business, and the other is cooking. Starting from the selection of ingredients, distinguishing the sick animals, avoiding the disease from the mouth, and cooking, seasoning, and keeping fresh, forming a complete system.

This is definitely the highest-level banquet in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Yun Yao thought that he had really missed the past two years, but he had no choice but to die for three years. Of course, it was three years, but in fact, it was two years after one month, and rounding it was three years. It can be seen that the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty had learned to get into the gaps in the Zhou rituals.

Zhou Li said that three years of mourning was observed, but two years later, it would be considered three years. It is true that human wisdom cannot be regulated by rituals and music.

No wonder there are fewer oral agreements in the future, the legal provisions become stricter, and even more corporal punishment is increasing, all because people's hearts are too lively.
