120,000 Qi troops crossed the poor water and forced Xiang Jifu to kill. As the destination gets closer, the atmosphere of the big war grows stronger.

Seeing that the Chu army did not flee, Lu Di knew that the other party wanted to wait for work, so he immediately ordered the Qi army to advance slowly.

This area was a hilly area, and Lü Di was afraid of being ambushed, so he ordered the sentry riders to take falcons and hounds and search a wide area until they could find no trace of the ambush before allowing the army to advance through.

The weather has been changing treacherously these days, and Lu Di is also aware of it, because the dogs he has have barked at the sky from time to time.

Lu Di twisted his eyebrows and thought, what was he wondering? At this moment, Lu Di regretted a little that he didn't bring the great god Wu Ji Xian and the god Gu Bu Ziqing to the Chu State. If they were, they would have been able to see a clue.

The army continued to advance, and the falcons and hounds of the sentry horses began to become restless, the falcons did not want to hover in the air, and the dogs barked day and night, and no matter how the army comforted the falcons and hounds, they still insisted on their behavior, and for a time the armies realized that something was wrong. They all looked at each other, distraught, and demoralized.

Lu Di was anxious in his eyes, but he couldn't expect what would happen, and he didn't know what was going to happen, so he naturally didn't know how to prevent it. can only pin his hope on his metaphysics, he divined three times, and all three times were great hexagrams.

Lu Di was completely crazy, and he convened a meeting of his confidants and civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.

Dongmen Wuze admonished the troops to retreat, as long as the army returned to the east of the poor water, on the territory of the Qi State, even if it was a great danger, it would definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster.

This proposition is supported by many people. Zuo Qiu Ming was opposed, his reason was that if the army was so laborious, if it was easy to turn back, the prestige of Lu Di would be damaged, and it would also lead to the Minister Wu Zixu being besieged and killed by the Chu people.

When it was mentioned that Wu Zixu's troops were marching on the south bank of the river, no one spoke. Indeed, if he retires, then Wu Zixu's department will really be suspended.

Dongmen Wuze licked his lips, and stopped talking, Lu Di waved his hand and said: "The Western Expedition is a grand strategy, there is no need to discuss it, now what is discussed is how to face the dilemma?" ”

Seeing this, Zuo Qiu Ming pondered, hesitated, and finally couldn't help but say: "King, these days, Weichen is also observing the realm of the ring, if Weichen's guess is right, there may be a natural disaster in the near future."

"Acts of God?" Zuo Qiu Ming's words made Lu Di stand up with a sigh. And all the people in the king's tent were in an uproar, and their faces changed greatly.

This is not something that can be said casually.

If the calculation is correct, it is a lie, and if the calculation is wrong, it will confuse people's hearts. These two points are to be killed no matter how you look at them.

Lu Di hurried to the outside of the tent, looking at his big dogs still barking at the sky, as if something hateful in the sky was about to descend.

The blue sky is so clean, so clean that people feel afraid. Everywhere in the vision, there is no vitality at all.

Is it a solar eclipse, a tornado, or an earthquake? Is it hail weather again?

Lu Di went through all the natural disasters in his mind, and he found that the most likely thing to happen was tornadoes and hailstorms, after all, it was summer. It is prone to these disasters.

Tornadoes, hail?

How can this be prevented?

Lu Di thinks about the future generations, science and technology have developed to the stage of creation and transformation, and there is nothing to be done about these disasters, what can he do now?

One can only pray that the heavens don't suddenly hail or a strong tornado blow in the sky when the war starts.

The army trembled and finally reached the city of Jifu. By this time it was already dusk, and the army had just set up camp to take the city tomorrow.

I saw that the gate of the chicken father was downstairs, but the altar had already been set up.

The army didn't know what the Chu army was going to do, so they all looked at it, only to see that soon, someone dressed as a ghost and god and climbed the altar, and next to the altar was a witch boy dressed in red with the sun and phoenix runes drawn.

They held the magic tools used by the Chu people to worship ghosts and gods, and sang the song of sacrifice in their mouths, their voices were ethereal and sacred, and even Lu Di, who was resting in the king's tent, was awakened and walked outside the camp.

The red glow on the horizon is like fire. Dark clouds were slowly rising from the ground level and spreading across the sky.

Lu Di frowned, he didn't understand why Chu Jun sacrificed when it was dark, let alone why he sacrificed in front of him?

The sun graphic symbolizing Emperor Gaoyang, the red color of the Zhurong gods, and the phoenix that expounds the spirit of the Chu people...... There is also a song in the clouds, a song and dance like a fuso dance.

The auspicious day is good, and Mu will enjoy the emperor. Fu Changjian Xi Yu 珥 (ěr), 璆锵 (qiú, qiāng) Ming Xi Linlang.

Yao Xi Yu Yao, 盍 (hé) will put Xi Qiongfang. Hui cuisine steamed orchid, lay cinnamon wine and pepper pulp.

Yang 枹 (fú) 兮拊 (fǔ) drums, soothing and slow verses An song, Chen Zhu Se Xi Hao advocated.

The spirit is full of beautiful clothes, and the room is full of flowers. The five tones are complicated, and Jun Xinxi is happy.

The 120,000 Qi troops were stunned at the moment, looking at the altar with their eyes brushed.

They were just as confused as Lu Di.

Lu Di's mood became heavier and heavier, and he vaguely guessed what Chu Jun was trying to do.

Zuo Qiu Ming didn't know when he came to Lu Di's side and bowed down and said: "Great King, the culture of the Chu people is different from my Daqi culture, in addition to the difference in the written language of the calendar, the most obvious thing is burial and sacrifice. ”

"Burial, after the death of the Chu people, the burial is the head to the east, facing the sky, and our Qi people are different from the head facing the north, of course, it is also different from the Qin people, the Qin people are facing the west"

"In terms of sacrifice: our sacrifice must be in the morning sun, but the Chu people's sacrifice is at dusk, because the dusk sacrifice is more effective in their eyes."

"It is rumored that the ancestors of the Chu people migrated to Yitun through Ruo Si divination and made a house, but there was nothing to hold a sacrificial ceremony, so they stole the cattle of the neighbors, and in order not to be discovered by the people, they had to hold a sacrificial ceremony in the middle of the night. Perhaps the consequences of this sacrifice were very effective. Since then, the Chu people have begun to sacrifice at night. Later, night sacrifices became a unique tradition of the Chu State. Zuo Qiu Ming explained.

Lu Di is convinced of Zuo Qiu Ming's explanation, the main reason is that Zuo Qiu Ming grew up in the Chu State, and he is well-read, known as the world's first scholar, what he said is naturally reasonable.

"Then what are they sacrificing in front of our army?" Lu Di didn't believe that the Chu army sacrificed in front of him, just to show off how prosperous their country's sacrificial culture was.

Zuo Qiu Ming shook his head and said that he didn't know, he also wondered why the other party's sacrifice was under the city gate, you must know that the place where the Chu people sacrifice is generally in the east of the city, not the south of the city today, which is too weird.

The long and light like the song of the nine heavens continued to sing, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the moonlight was white and terrifying, at this moment, suddenly Lu Di felt that something was wrong, and at the same moment, the eagles and dogs in the Qi army camp were all boiling and chirping.

"I'm noisy, it's not good, it's a lunar eclipse!" Lu Di saw that the moon in the night sky was gradually swallowed up, and exclaimed.
