Chapter 177 Hard-won Resurrection
at night.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to the Basilica." The eunuch whispered.
The emperor hummed.
The palace maid stepped forward and put a black cloak on the emperor, and the eunuch held the lantern and went all the way to the Basilica.
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, emperors of all dynasties would go to the Nine-story Pagoda to offer sacrifices.
The Nine-Storied Pagoda was heavily guarded, and the palace maids and eunuchs stopped a few dozen meters away.
Eunuch Wang carried a food box and yellow paper and escorted His Majesty to the foot of the tower.
"Father." The prince had already been waiting at the foot of the tower.
"Please stop, Eunuch Wang." The guard was wearing silver armor, and a layer of frost appeared under the moonlight.
Eunuch Wang lowered his head, handed the food box and yellow paper to the prince, and stepped back.
The Basil Pagoda is guarded by many guards, both overtly and covertly. No one can climb the Basil Pagoda except emperors and princes of all dynasties.
"Your Majesty, please come in."
"The time has come, it's time to offer sacrifices." The guard whispered.
With a squeak.
Basil opens the door.
The last time the emperor took Lu Chaochao, he took the outer stairs and did not open the door to enter.
Basil blooms only once a year.
Only the emperor and the prince were allowed to enter.
The emperor held a lamp in his hand, and every time he went up a floor, he would light the lamp on the next floor.
The prince followed the emperor quietly, and only his low breathing could be heard.
"Rumor has it that Beizhao was originally a swamp where no living creature could survive."
"Until that day, the gods had mercy on me, and a ray of light fell on the land of Beizhao. That was the heart of Beizhao." The emperor looked at the top of the nine-story pagoda from afar.
"They took root, countless swamps turned into soil, countless trees and flowers broke out of the ground. Countless creatures were able to recuperate, and life began to emerge in Northern Zhao..."
The emperor whispered.
"These were originally royal secrets, and could only be passed on to the new emperor when each dynasty succeeded to the throne."
"But you are my most favorite son, and the throne will only be passed on to you. It has no harm in telling you in advance." The late emperor succeeded by overthrowing the previous dynasty, but he did not know it at first. Later, when he was offering sacrifices in Chengtian Hall, he accidentally discovered the secret of Beizhao.
"At that time, North Zhao was full of vitality, and countless people came here to fight for land and establish a country."
"Later, a silver-haired man didn't know how to take out the Heart of Bei Zhao. He said that this was the source of Bei Zhao's vitality. It was the Heart of Bei Zhao and needed the incense of the people of Bei Zhao."
"The Heart of Northern Zhao needs a thousand years of national worship, so leave the Heart of Northern Zhao here and enjoy the incense and worship."
The emperor looked a little surprised.
"However, he said another sentence..." The emperor shook his head.
"This has been passed down for thousands of years, and perhaps later generations have exaggerated it."
"The silver-haired man said that one day, the other party might come to look for His heart."
"If this person comes, he will be the ancestor of Beizhao. The ancestor of the entire Beizhao."
The emperor looked quite speechless.
"I don't believe that someone can really come and take it..." The emperor waved his hands and just treated it as a joke.
The prince curled his lips slightly and watched him push open the ninth floor.
The emperor personally lit the ninth candle.
The candlelight lit up, dispelling the darkness, and the prince's eyes gradually became gentle.
The prince unconsciously slowed down his steps, fearing that he might wake something up.
He stepped forward, placed the offerings, and reverently lit incense, candles, and paper money.
The prince poured the wine himself, knelt on the ground and quietly tore the yellow paper.
I saw a gray stone floating on the top of the ninth floor of the tower. The stone was suspended quietly in the air, not looking like a spirit at all.
There are fine lines all over the stone, and I wonder what kind of powerful force it has endured.
The emperor burned incense respectfully.
"If you really have a spirit, please bless Bei Zhao for thousands of years and ensure that the Xie royal family's foundation will be forever strong." The emperor whispered.
The prince said calmly, "Yes."
After the sacrifice, it was already late at night when the two walked out of the basilica.
The prince turned his head and looked at the faint light on the basilica, his eyes burning.
The palace gates are closed, and the prince will rest in the palace tonight.
He lay on the bed, his hands crossed and resting on the back of his head, his mind unconsciously empty.
Today is the day of her sacrifice.
"After a thousand years, you are finally resurrected..." the prince whispered.
"Disciple Chongyue, I have finally waited for your resurrection."
God of Time and Space, no, he is no longer the God of Time and Space.
The little prince sighed softly.
He and several fellow apprentices traveled through the three realms, weaving souls for her everywhere. As the God of Time and Space, he had thrown her into reincarnation time and time again, trying to make her reborn, but his divine power had long been exhausted.
She is the master of all gods, and her three souls and seven spirits have long since turned to ashes.
He had disregarded the prohibitions of the Three Realms and the laws countless times, waiting for Chao Chao in the mortal world.
As the impartial existence of the Three Realms, Heaven has wiped out his soul countless times.
In this life, if Chao Chao's spirit had not returned, his soul would probably still be wiped out and his body would be occupied by the soul from another world.
Fortunately, fortunately she came back.
No one knows how difficult her laughter, anger, and reincarnation are.
And Lu Chaochao at this moment.
He was shamelessly reaching out to ask Xu for a chicken leg: "Mother, can you give Chao Chao a chicken leg..."
"Chao Chao is so good..."
The little guy's eyebrows drooped slightly, seeming a little lost.
"Today is a special day..." Lu Chaochao wrinkled his face.
[Today is the day when I once offered sacrifice.] It’s my death anniversary! 】
[Is it okay to eat a chicken drumstick on the anniversary of the death of a deceased person? 】
Xu was shocked.
She looked up and stared at Chao Chao blankly.
Chao Chao seldom talked about her past, and rarely revealed her true feelings.
Hearing that she had made a sacrifice, Xu was heartbroken.
"You still have indigestion. You just stopped eating for one day today." Xu sighed silently.
"Besides, you are overweight. The imperial physician said that you should control your appetite and eat less greasy and meaty food..." Xu gently pinched her chubby little face, which was so round and cute.
"Forget it, I'll ask Dengzhi to get you a chicken leg later." Xu felt sorry for her death anniversary and couldn't help herself.
"Oh yeah...thank you, mom." The little guy's drooping eyebrows suddenly became energetic.
[It’s great! Others can only celebrate their birthdays, but I can also celebrate their death anniversary! Hehe, I’ve celebrated one more festival than others…】 The little guy’s eyebrows were dancing with a look of great profit.
Xu...
Why are your brain circuits always so weird?
"Mom, Chaochao didn't eat meat today and I'm skinny because of hunger." Lu Chaochao sucked in her stomach and tried to save face.
"I didn't eat a single bite of meat..."
"If you don't believe me, ask Yushu. My belly is small..." Lu Chaochao looked proud.
Yu Shu looked embarrassed: "Indeed...I didn't eat meat."
"Sister Dengzhi, can you go get the scale? Chaochao must have lost weight..." She looked at Dengzhi and asked her to get the scale.
The little girl sat in a bamboo basket, and two maids carried her, swaying her.
Dengzhi looked at the scale with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.
"What a satisfying weight loss experience..." The little guy exclaimed after learning a word.
"Very enjoyable?" Dengzhi muttered.
"Yes, I didn't eat a single bite of meat." Lu Chaochao looked proud.
Dengzhi looked at the scale and began to doubt his life.
Three pounds heavier than yesterday? ! !
"What did you eat today?" Dengzhi asked cautiously.
"I ate eight sugar rolls, two vegetarian buns, and two bowls of porridge... I didn't eat any meat, so I must have lost weight..." The little girl counted her diet meals on her fingers.
Xu gasped and covered her heart.
What a satisfying experience!
She stole the dog food again! !
