The time has not passed, the hour has not yet arrived, and the main square of the Monkey King Hall in Qiwang Fort is already crowded with people. ,: 。 The ordinary elders and deacons of the five major families of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance, the ordinary clansmen of the clan branches and side branches, and those who were invited by the Five Merchants Alliance to come to watch the ceremony, waited in an orderly manner in the main square under the arrangement of the special 'gate' of the Five Merchants Alliance.

In the Monkey King Hall, the patriarchs, important elders, and core members of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance, regardless of men and women, young or old, hundreds of people gathered here, waiting for the time to come, and then left the Monkey King Hall and went to the main square for sacrificial activities.

From the Monkey King Hall to the middle of the main square, this distance of 100 zhang has been paved with a red 'color' stall with a width of three zhang on the ground at this moment. The south end of the red carpet, in the center of the main square, is a tall circular altar, the pedestal of the four layers of white 'jade' is three zhang high, and each layer of the altar is equipped with twelve majestic, which is evenly distributed around the altar in 12 directions, and is evenly distributed around the altar. On the round altar, the table for the sacrifice has been placed, and a stone pillar about five zhang high stands in the round altar, but it is a pillar to the sky.

Twelve people who looked like Taoist priests were standing in front of the twelve majestys of the round altar. When the sacrificial ceremony begins, the patriarchs of the five major families of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance and the important elders and core members of the first generation should detour from the east to the widest and longest noon majesty in the south of the round altar to worship, and after the sacrifice, they need to detour from the west to the pillar of heaven and leave from the Zi Majesty in the north and return directly to the Monkey Hall, while the important elders and core members of the second generation are to ascend the altar from the east of the Mao Majesty, and leave from the west of the Youma and detour back to the Monkey Hall. As for the others, after the sacrifice of those who came out of the Monkey King Hall was completed, the other eight majesties should ascend the altar in an orderly manner and leave from the path opposite the one that ascended the altar.

Before everyone ascends the altar to worship, the personnel of the Celebrant Bureau under the Elders of the Five Merchants Alliance will be on standby at every position above and below the altar early, and when the sacrifice officially begins, these celebrants will be responsible for presiding over all the matters and will guide every step of the action of each person who ascends the altar to worship. And these people, in their respective positions, stay all day, and when they stay there, they must always maintain their appearance and posture, and they must always be dignified and neat. When all the people have made sacrifices in turn, the celebrants are able to leave their respective places and go to rest and eat. At the beginning of the second day, these celebrants need to arrive at their respective locations early and prepare for the next day's sacrifice.

After all, the sacrificial ceremony of the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance is to be held for five days in a row, the first day to worship the ancestors, the second day to worship the gods, the five emperors, the sun, the moon and the stars, the third day to worship the emperor and the earth, Shenzhou Sheji, the five mountains and the four desecrations, the fourth day to worship the gods, saints and sages, the fifth day to sacrifice the five business alliance personnel who died this year, each day of the sacrifice has the theme of each day, after all, there are too many things to prepare during the sacrifice, and it also makes those celebrants have to prepare early every day.

With the passage of time, the heavens in the east gradually showed a trace of whiteness, and the time was about to come. Everyone in the Monkey King Hall also stood up, lined up according to their positions, and quietly waited for the hour to come.
