The ceremony of the festival is now on the third day. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) Every morning, I have to climb along the halfway point of Danhan Mountain to the top of the peak, which is really miserable for a person with an ordinary physique like Wen Qiao. Fortunately, Duan Piyan was with him every day, and he supported and helped a lot along the way.

Duan Piyan is the son of Duan Wu Bechen of the Western Liaoning Dynasty, although he is a Hu person, but he is very deep in sinicization, Botong Jingshi, Ya is good at Danqing, and is a rare man of both civil and military in northern Xinjiang. He did not grasp the strength of the Duan clan like his brothers Duan Ji 6 and Duan Wenyang, but was born in the Great Jin Dynasty and worked for the shogunate of Jun Jun, the assassin of Youzhou.

Duan Piyan and Wen Qiao were both envoys sent by local officials in the Great Jin Dynasty, and they were in one place every time they held a ceremony, and they talked for days, and they felt very comfortable with each other. Of course, this is also considering that the two states of Youji are Fang Zhen on the front line of northern Xinjiang, and it is quite necessary to help each other, and the two of them, as the humerus of the shogunate, naturally intend to make a good friendship.

As for the small confrontation between the two families in Daijun, both sides are smart people, so naturally they will not mention it at this time to increase embarrassment. After all, Wang Pengzu's strength lies in Liaoxi, and Liu Yueshi is busy dealing with the Xiongnu in the south of the state, and a mere county is nothing. For the freshly baked Daijun Taishou, you can also take your time to win it over.

At this time, since Duan Piyan reached out to help, Wen Qiao reluctantly thanked him, but he was originally climbing up, and when he was a little distracted, his feet slipped again. Although Danhan Mountain was set up as the royal court by Xianbei Dashan in Tanshi Huai a hundred years ago, where did the Xianbei people have the talent to build and build? The whole Danhan Mountain is still a wild mountain, not to mention that there is no trace of the royal court, even the road has not been repaired in the slightest, and the road is not far from the cliff and deep valley, it is simply difficult to reach the extreme. With this slippery, Wen Qiao suddenly couldn't stand up, and he was about to roll down slowly.

Fortunately, Duan Piyan reacted very quickly, he pulled Wen Qiao's arm and lifted it up hard, and shouted at the same time: "Kick hard!" ”

Wen Qiao hurriedly kicked his legs with the upward pull, and finally his hands and feet were still dexterous, and he suddenly crossed the half-human-high gap and fell to the ground. Looking back with trepidation, he saw a cobblestone that he had stepped on tumbled down the slope. The cobblestone bounced back and forth between the rugged rocks along the way, getting faster and faster, and finally bounced out of the arc and fell straight into the abyss.

Wen Qiao stared at the falling boulder, and he couldn't realize that his facial muscles twitched a few times. When he turned around, he felt more and more tired, and at this time, he could not care about his manners, so he found a rock with a flat top, sat down, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. After a long time, seeing that the Hu chieftains behind him had almost caught up, Wen Qiao got up. Because his body had not recovered, his hands and feet were still trembling slightly, but his movements were very fast. After walking a few steps, he even patted his leg with self-deprecation and laughed loudly: "Haha, haha, I'm tired today, and my actions are more embarrassing." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Duan Piyan and shook it deeply: "If it weren't for my brother today, there would be no warmth!" ”

"Shiyun, the spine is in the original, and the brothers are in trouble. It's just a gesture, why should Brother Taizhen care. Duan Piyan said with a smile: "The Jin people take farming and reading as their profession, and their own literature is weak, so they can't be compared with us outsiders. What's more, although Brother Taizhen is weak, he has enough courage, and he is much stronger than Tian Si, Jin Li, Liang Tianzhi and others. ”

The "Tian Si, Jin Li, Liang Tian and the like" he mentioned were the last time the Great Jin officials who participated in the Tuoba Xianbei Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony were already eleven years ago.

Decades after the decline of the Xiongnu, Xianbei all according to the Xiongnu hometown, to Tanshihuai when the power reached the extreme, the territory of more than 12,000 miles from east to west, more than 7,000 miles from north to south. Tanshi Huai takes Danhan Mountain as the royal court is located, and its land is divided into three parts: east, middle and west, and each is led by a number of commanders. Tuoba Xianbei's ancestor deduction is one of the great marshals. After Tanshi Huai and Kebineng, the Xianbei tribal alliance collapsed, and the powerful people from all walks of life fought and killed each other. Up to now, the eastern Xianbei Murong, Yuwen, and Duanbu are the top three, the central Xianbei is the Tuoba clan, and the strongest bald part of the western Xianbei is also a branch of Tuoba Xianbei.

Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there have been continuous wars with Xianbei in the west, and famous generals such as Hu Lie and Lianhong have all died in Longshang. Therefore, the imperial court was interested in Tuoba Xianbei, and tried to avoid the dilemma of being attacked on both sides. In the sixth year of Yuankang, Tuoba Yihui reburied his father Desert Khan and his wife Feng, and summoned all the tribes to worship heaven and earth in Danhan Mountain. Fearing the power of the people, the vassal countries and servant tribes from near and far all came to the scene, gathering 200,000 people. At that time, the court of the Great Jin Dynasty did not dare to slack off, Chengdu Wang Sima Ying sent Zhonglang Tian Si, Hejian Wang Sima Hao sent Sima Jin Li, and Dongying Company Ma Teng sent the chief bookkeeper Liang Tian to the funeral, and expressed the intention of the alliance.

It's a pity that the three princes of the clan didn't know that the etiquette of Hu'er in Northern Xinjiang was very different from that of China and North Korea. It is said that the three officials they sent were full of ugliness when they climbed Danhan Mountain, some of them wept halfway through the journey and refused to go up again, and some of them hugged Hu'er's waist and grabbed the sky and the earth by the side of the dangerous road. Although I don't know how well they have accomplished their goodwill mission, Tuoba Xianbei and noble chieftains are now so contemptuous, and it is not without the credit of those three people.

Compared to those three envoys, Wen Qiao can be regarded as outstanding. Although his body is weak, his courage and perseverance are not inferior to others. Although the daily climbing is hard, I persevered and did not delay along the way. is also an envoy of the imperial court, and Duan Pi Pan has been in one place with Wen Qiao in the past three days. If it is said that on the day of the ceremony, he still has the attitude of watching jokes, and at this time, he can't help but admire Wen Qiao's tenacity.

The two talked and talked, and hurried under their feet, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. When the red sun jumped out of the distant clouds, the steep road of overlapping mountains and ravines finally reached the end, and came to the top of the main peak of Danhan Mountain.

After all, the Xianbei Dashan of the past dynasties sacrificed to the sky here, and it has undergone some repairs. Although the Xianbei Great Alliance has been shattered for a long time, most of the relics of the past have been destroyed, and thorns are growing everywhere. However, the large stone slabs paved on the ground still remain, and countless stone slabs are spliced together, leaving a flat land that is open for dozens of zhang.

After hard climbing, I came to the top of this Danhan Mountain, the long wind entered my arms, and my vision was suddenly broadened, and no matter who I was, I felt that my heart was open. Wen Qiao sighed and looked north, the vast grassland was boundless, and to the south, the Daijun Plain behind the mountains was faintly visible. Looking at the east and west again, the two thousands of peaks and mountains are the main veins of Yanshan and Yinshan respectively, Wen Qiao looked at it with his eyes, and almost felt that the rocky cliffs had turned into hideous scales and claws, and the whole mountain range was like a giant dragon with a body stretching for thousands of miles, meandering and flying from west to east.

There is no other mountain road to this peak, only the one that Wen Qiao has worked hard to climb can pass. At this time, Lu Guan, Yilu, and the leaders of the various tribes were already standing around the bonfire. Wen Qiao, Duan Piyan and others didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly stood in their own positions. After a while, the thirty-six kingdoms, the ninety-nine chieftains and others came up to the mountain, and without much to say, they each found a proper place.

There is a blazing bonfire in the middle of the flat ground, this bonfire is not used for ordinary heating and barbecue, but a wooden frame is built with a thick giant wood, and then filled with a large amount of flammable firewood and oil, which is more than two zhang high, once ignited, it can not be extinguished for dozens of days. The bonfire had been lit the day before, and by this time the flames had become more and more intense.

Near the bonfire, there are seven huge leather drums. Fourteen strong men with upper bodies and painted animal faces on their heads also ignored the people who came up to the mountain, but just picked up drumsticks and beat drums endlessly. With each blow, they used all their strength to beat the flesh all over their bodies, large drops of sweat swayed everywhere with the movements, and the drums were either fast or slow, completely different from any kind of familiar drum music, and carried a peculiar rhythm and rhythm. Mo said that it was the top of Danhan Mountain, and even at the foot of the mountain dozens of miles away, it was clearly audible.

Amid the rumbling drums, all the people who participated in today's heavenly sacrifice ceremony were already in place, and hundreds of people surrounded the platform.

At the moment when everyone was in place, more than 100 men dressed in various beast furs, faces covered with strange and terrifying masks, and armed with sharp weapons such as knives, swords, spears, and axes appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as they appeared, a strong bloody breath erupted, and these men were soaked in blood. I don't know if the blood comes from a human or some kind of beast, I just feel that the coagulation is abnormal, and a large cloud of blood droplets spills down with every movement and every step, and even pounces on the faces of the approaching Xianbei people, making a snapping sound.

The men shouted in unison, in an incoherent voice, and rushed around the campfire. They danced wildly, as if they were crazy, and the direction of their running was constantly changing, and the degree was getting faster and faster, accompanied by the stiffness, jumping, and tumbling without warning. In such a high shuttle to and fro, these people have never touched each other in the slightest. When others pay attention for a long time, they feel dizzy and nauseous and vomit.

Although it was the third day to watch the festival, Wen Qiao still didn't understand where these men who looked like came from. Accustomed to the sound and music of the Central Plains, he didn't feel that this weird dance had any beauty at all. So Wen Qiao simply lowered his eyebrows, not looking at the more crazy dance, but only silently counting in his heart.

As in the previous two ceremonies, when the count reached about five hundred, an extremely high-pitched and piercing shrill scream sounded. At the same time, hundreds of Tuoba Xianbei people below the Zilu official fell to the ground together!

Duan Piyan and Wen Qiao are not Tuoba people, but distinguished guests who came to watch the ceremony, so naturally there is no need to kneel and worship. Duan Piyan is also a Xianbei lineage, so he bowed down deeply to show respect. Wen Qiao raised his head sharply at this time, and saw that among the dancing, almost under the raging fire, a blind-eyed witch suddenly appeared.
