But fortunately, the history of the mountains here is long, the trees are thick, and the steps are separated by a road, which is an ancient tree that needs to be hugged by two people, with a dense canopy, shading the sky and the sun, and there is always a shady place, which is more comfortable than roasting in the sun, and occasionally the breeze blows, but it is also refreshing.

There is also a small stream next to the steps up the mountain, and the water is rushing down from the mountain! The water under the stream has been washed by water all year round, and the stones have become smooth and delicate, but if you want to step on it, you should be careful to slip, it is all moss!

Although the old emperor felt that the sacrifice should be distracted, it was not beautiful to make the ministers faint in the middle of the road on such a hot day, so they were still allowed to occasionally stop and take the cool stream water to cool down!

Even so, the civil and military officials were afraid that what they did wrong would touch the old emperor's brow, so most of them didn't dare!

However, in order to avoid heat stroke, they have also summed up some methods over the years, they have tried to wear as light as possible, and they also carried a sheepskin bag of Huoxiang Zhengqi water boiled in advance! If you can't do it, hurry up and take a sip!

And this year, you can buy ice cubes, and some people also put ice cubes into the pig urine bubbles that have been processed in advance, and they carry a lot of them with them, even if they are almost melted along the way, but they are still very cold!

So even though it's still hot, it's much better than before!

At the end of the steps is Shennong Temple, the temple is not big, a red brick ancient temple with strong incense, and the plaque at the door solemnly writes three ancient characters of Shennong Temple.

Inside is a small courtyard style, in the middle of the main hall is a stone statue as high as the main hall, the statue eyebrows are clear, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, very solemn.

In the middle of the yard, there is an ancient locust tree that can only be kept by three adults, the locust tree is hung with copper coins tied with red cloth strips, it is said that the locust tree is the same age as Lord Shennong, it was planted when Lord Shennong's mother gave birth to him, and it has already become a fairy tree with Lord Shennong, and the wish is very effective, so the people come here to incense not only to ask Lord Shennong to bless the grain harvest, but also to ask for something else under the ancient tree.

Naturally, the old emperor would not ask for those ordinary wishes, and the place where he sacrificed was in the back.

Under the guidance of Su Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the old emperor first put incense in the temple, and then passed through the main hall to the altar behind the sacrifice.

Outside, the pro-army led by Wang Renjie surrounded the temple to protect the safety of the old emperor, and the temple did not allow them to enter with weapons, and the back was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only one exit from the main entrance.

The main building of the altar is the giant human statue of Shennong. It is about 10 meters high and 20 meters wide, adding up to 30 meters, to show that the 30 state capitals of the Dayi Dynasty are thriving and the country is safe.

Behind the statue is the verdant mountains, endless, Shennong statue eyes slightly closed, insight into the autumn, two five-meter-high totem poles stand on the left and right sides of the altar respectively, the pillar body is carved people to oxen for ploughing, descendants work hard meaning.

In front of the altar, there are nine tripods and eight guis (items used by people to cook in ancient times, now the highest sacrificial ritual vessel of the Chinese nation) and bell and drum towers for people to worship their ancestors and seek protection.

Su Shangshu led the old emperor all the way up the ninety-nine eighty-one steps, and then came to the viewing platform in front of the statue (in ancient times, it was the place where the Son of Heaven was worshipped).

The Ministry of Rites has prepared the tribute, the three animals, pigs, cows, and sheep hanging with red cloths.

There are also fresh cereals, salt, vinegar and fruits, all of which are laid out one by one.
