Chapter 468: Speculating on the Origin of the Visualization Diagram

Yu, is a method of offering sacrifice to dragons.

The one who is best at this method of offering sacrifice is undoubtedly the ‘Wu Yu’.

Unfortunately, Li Qi is not a Wu Yu, but as a blessing person, he knows basically all the sacrificial methods, after all, it is his old profession.

“Da Yu. Yu is the name of a drought sacrifice to pray for rain. The sacrifice is Da Yu, which means a severe drought. Eight boys and girls are asked to dance and call Yu, so it is called ‘Yu’.” Li Qi muttered the method of Yu. Although he could not find boys and girls now, it didn’t matter. As long as another seventh-grade person helped, it could be made up.

Only novices and unlearned people would stick to restoring the formula. After all, the purpose of the formula is to make a good dish. As long as the dish is good and meets the requirements, the formula can actually be changed.

Just like cooking, if there is no salt, then add more soy sauce, it doesn’t matter.

The various requirements of sacrifice are actually essentially to pursue certain qi to form the entire cycle of sacrifice.

The essence of requiring boys and girls is actually for the innate qi, which Li Qi can make up for himself. Monk Jingmo should also be able to provide other qi needed for the sacrifice.

So Li Qi said: "Master, please help me."

"This is my responsibility, not to help, but to work together." Monk Jingmo said: "Sir, just give orders. Although I am not good at thinking, I am still very efficient in doing things."

Li Qi was not polite and immediately began to issue orders.

In ancient times, there was a ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods, so they prayed for rain for all grains. Its system was to build an altar beside the southern suburbs.

But Li Qi certainly did not have the conditions here, so he imitated the ancient dragon-seeing ritual and chose a place to build an altar.

In the first month of summer, the blue dragon appeared in the east, and prayed for rain for all grains, so the dragon appeared and offered sacrifices. According to the suburban altar system, it was built as a rain altar, praying to God for all disasters, and praying for rain in case of drought.

In the Tang Dynasty, the rain sacrifice was generally held in the southern suburbs, and then the rain ceremony was performed at the Circular Mound. The Da Yu of all dynasties liked the ritual of drought after the first month of summer, and they all prayed every seven days. Li Qi felt that the Tang system was the best.

Therefore, Li Qi imitated the ancient Da Yu, with one person replacing two dancers, wearing black clothes, each holding a feather shade, and singing a poem.

He imitated the Yunhan style and composed eight poems. The words were sincere and the chapters were sharp. He wore black clothes, and eight rows of people held feather shades. At the end, the music stopped, and the praisers praised. After the song was finished, he looked at the fire.

Then a bird with a clear voice was used as the master of ceremonies. The feather shades were in the style of the Zhou Li Huang Wu. The etiquette was the same as the regular rain in the first month of summer.

There were altars for the God, the Sheji, the ancestral temple, and the Tai Sui, all with music, but the altars of the gods were missing, and the imperial law was written.

Having made a decision, Li Qi was not vague and immediately started the whole set of rituals.

He was not going to fool around, and he also summoned Wang Dun and other people of reason to help.

Dingyu worshipped the gods of heaven from the Circular Mound, with the Huang Zhong as the palace.

The gods of the earth from the Square Lake, with the Lin Zhong as the palace.

The music used was 70%, and the music for welcoming the gods was Qifeng, the music for laying down silk was Huafeng, the music for the first offering was Anfeng, the music for the second offering was Xingfeng, the music for the final offering was Yifeng, the music for the complete feast was Hefeng, and the music for sending off the gods was Xifeng.

So it was necessary to set up a music department, set the music for sacrificial sacrifices, the music for banquets, and the music for the imperial ceremony.

Then set up the office director, the office secretary, the attendant, the waiting official, the offering, the offering official, the drummer, and the musician, and distinguish them according to the musical instruments they were in charge of.

Regarding this, Li Qi wanted to let everyone in Lidao do it, but they certainly couldn't sing, but they could use a player, so they used the player instead, and started playing 70% of the music. Li Qi originally wanted to find a musician, but found that the player seemed to work...

It's almost okay, anyway, the effect is not much different.

The bell is called Sizhong, the chime is called Siqing, the zither, the harp, the sheng, and the flute are also the same. The Ming music and dance students follow suit, and the feathers are slow and obscene.

After confirming these, put the old horse on the altar.

Then, the sacrifice begins.

Welcome the gods at the beginning, lay down jade and silk, offer the sacrificial offering, the first offering, the second offering, the final offering, clean the food, send the gods, and look for burning.

Yu sacrifice, welcome the gods with mist and peace, lay down jade and silk, offer the sacrificial offering, the first offering is for peace, the second offering is for peace, the final offering is for peace, clean the food, send the gods with peace, and look for burning.

So, send the gods, return to the palace, and look for burning.

Then, pray for rain at the altar and pray for rain, report the sacrifice to welcome the gods and extend the harvest, lay down silk, offer the first offering for peace, the second offering for prosperity, the final offering for prosperity, clean the food for prosperity, send the gods with prosperity, and look for burying the gods with prosperity.

The gods of heaven and earth welcome the gods and pray for a good harvest. They lay down silk, offer Huafeng for the first time, Xingfeng for the second time, Yifeng for the last time, and Hefeng for the last time. They send off the gods and give them Xifeng.

In this way, the ceremony is completed.

Of course, dance is also needed as the focus of the sacrifice, which is also what Wuyu needs to do.

Now there is no Wuyu, so Li Qi will do it instead.

As Li Qi started to dance, the ritual music around began to play.

The people of Lidao, including Wang Dun, also began to record the things around them frantically.

A Dayu sacrifice hosted by Zhu Ren himself is a very valuable experience for the people of Lidao, which is one of the reasons why they are willing to help.

Li Qi started to dance, not the kind of soft dance, but a very wild dance for a witch.

This is also the iconic action and image of the witch.

On the altar, wearing strange sacrificial clothes, and then dancing the gods in strange postures.

Basically, the impression of witches in the eyes of outsiders is that they dance the gods like this.

Or, wearing ragged clothes, thinking among a bunch of insects, thinking about how to cultivate poisonous insects.

At most, there is a gloomy face, casting evil spells in the dark to curse others.

This is probably the image of witches in the eyes of the world.

Li Qi now completely fits the image of a witch, but he is used to it. The witch silkworm is a typical witchcraft technique, and he is actually quite good at it.

So, at first glance, Li Qi is a normal person, but when he uses his skills, his witch nature can still be clearly seen.

As he dances like a great god, the power of sacrifice begins to work.

If it is a professionally trained Wu Yu, the dance will be extremely beautiful, but Li Qi is not, so his dance looks very strange, but these postures are essentially the same, all through different postures, coordinating different qi, and different rhythms to produce different effects.

The only difference is that he dances ugly, but this is not a big deal.

But the people of Li Dao next to him took notes very seriously, as if they were ready to write down the entire sacrifice process, including Li Qi's movements, so that they could go back and reproduce them later.

Li Dao has no copyright. It is common for them to steal and learn skills. What is the purpose of helping people build different magic weapons everywhere? Of course, it is to steal.

Of course, Li Dao himself does not admit that this is stealing. They think they just saw it, so they learned it. Since you let people see it, you must let people learn it.

Finally, the sacrifice was over, and Lao Ma fell into a deep sleep.

Li Qi took a deep breath, stopped, and said to Monk Jingmo seriously: "Sleep for fourteen days, like the seven stars of the Azure Dragon, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji, arranged in a regular cycle for seven days, and then Lao Ma's skills and foundation were established. Thank you for your help, Master."

"I said, this is not a help. This visualization picture itself was triggered by me. This is also my business. Donors don't have to care." Monk Jingmo said so.

Li Qi nodded casually, walked down the altar, and looked around.

They did these sacrificial things, of course, it was impossible to run to the deck and do it in front of everyone, so this is actually a secret room on the ship.

After all, this ship is a fifth-grade treasure ship, and there are so many secret rooms inside, and Wang Dun can find a lot of them casually.

"This is also my question, Master. I never asked before, why did you trigger this visualization picture? Let's not talk about how this visualization picture came about. How did you sense it and how did you actively trigger it?" Li Qi asked.

Monk Jingmo put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and then said: "Donor, you should have heard that I am good at divination."

Li Qi nodded. He must have heard of this. Wang Dun found him with the help of Monk Jingmo's divination. Monk Jingmo's divination ability is said to be quite strong.

"So, you divined that there was a Buddhist affinity, so you came forward, but you didn't want to trigger some kind of power and imprint this visualization picture on him?" Li Qi asked.

"That's right, I can feel that this is caused by Amitabha's Buddha's energy, but I don't know the specific reason. In fact, I also know that Amitabha can't be so bored. This matter must have nothing to do with Amitabha. It should be done by someone else who got Amitabha's Buddha's energy." Monk Jingmo put his hands together and said solemnly.

"Do you suspect that someone else got the Buddha's Qi of Amitabha? How many people in this world are qualified to get it? It's the first-class in the world. Except for him who gave it away, tell me who else can get it? This inference is simply absurd." Li Qi shook his head and didn't believe this speculation at all.

That's Amitabha.

Infinite life, infinite light, infinite magical powers, infinite wisdom, who can catch a wisp of Buddha's Qi in the hands of Amitabha? And then use it to do something that Amitabha himself doesn't want to do?

Amitabha's Buddha's Qi, he knows it himself, and he knows everything about it.

"It's really unlikely, but maybe Amitabha took the initiative to give it to others, such as other Buddhist disciples, who were given the protective Qi by the Buddha himself. In this case, it is also very likely that someone holds the Buddha's Qi." Monk Jingmo said so.

The mechanical monk spoke in a very calm voice, and the reed-like tone did not seem to fluctuate.

"Other Buddhist disciples? In other words, some Buddhist disciples attacked me? No, I have no grudges with Buddhism. Besides, there is only one Buddhist disciple here, right? Master Jingmo." Li Qi looked at Monk Jingmo.

Speaking of Buddhist disciples... the mechanical monk in front of him is a genuine Buddhist disciple.

"It's not me, and I am not a disciple of Amitabha Buddha. The one who enlightened me is the Supreme Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata. In the past, the Buddha made twelve great vows, wishing to relieve the suffering of all living beings, so that they can have all the roots and enter liberation. I have the "wisdom root" because of this, and since then I have been freed from the puppet and have wisdom. I can't get the Buddha's aura of Amitabha Buddha." Monk Jingmo explained.

"It's not you, but it could be other Buddhist disciples. Are Buddhist disciples boring?" Li Qi was a little annoyed.

"It doesn't have to be a Buddhist. Buddhists all have Buddha nature and won't do these things, just like the young master of Wushen Mountain will definitely not deliberately break the balance of the world. But, young master, is it possible that it is a 'demon'?" Monk Jingmo suddenly asked.

This question made Li Qi stunned, and then he suddenly took a deep breath.

Yes, what if it is a demon?

There are indeed demons that can do it, and that guy's attitude towards Li Qi is not ordinary.

But...

It's wrong, right?

It's agreed that Buddhism will suppress the self-free heaven with the formless heaven and suppress the heavenly demon with the pure and quiet method. The heavenly demon jumps out every day and has done so many things in a year. Is Buddhism just hanging up?

Li Qi didn't believe that a powerful sect that could gain a foothold in the world would just hang up and wait for death, so Li Qi felt that it should not be the Heavenly Demon who made the move, at least... not the Heavenly Demon himself.

But... do you want to say that the Heavenly Demon is impossible?

Li Qi felt that it was very likely that he was no longer facing the Heavenly Demon himself, but the entire Demon Dao.

As the leader of the four demons, the Heavenly Demon definitely has the power to control the entire Demon Dao. Just a little bit of temptation is enough to seduce the entire Demon Dao to attack him.

Does the entire Demon Dao have the ability to lay out in this situation?

Is the situation in the East China Sea really just the real dragons?

After realizing this, Li Qi did not hesitate at all, took out the terminal directly, and quickly sent a message.

"The matter is serious, the coordinates are Dushuo Mountain, come quickly."

This was sent to Shen Shuibi.

Li Qi's original plan was to come to the East China Sea to fish for the real dragon for a few months, and it would be best if he could drag people in to stir up the water, and then handle it all by himself, and then go back to Chang'an to go to school, continue his career, and see if he could pull Luofu Mountain from a dead end.

He thought at the time that only the real dragon would attack him in the world, and other sects should not have conflicts with him in the world, after all, Li Qi was usually quite kind to others.

The demon is indeed dangerous, but he has attacked too many times in a short period of time, and the suppression of the Qingjing method is not a joke.

But now it seems that things have gone out of control, and it is not only the real dragon that attacked him, but also the magic.

The demon did not attack again, but the demon can drive the entire magic for his use.

So, as a smart man, Li Qi did not hesitate at all, and he directly called people without hesitation!

If there was only the real dragon, it would be the same as he said at the beginning, there was no danger at all, and Shen Shuibi did not need to come.

But now it is different.

He is not ready to give up the original plan, but he will definitely not go alone to take risks.

When Shen Shuibi comes, we can go.

The reason is very simple. In the world, people above the fifth rank will not be allowed to fight each other. This is the rule. Therefore, if you have a fifth rank to protect you, you will be safe in the world.

This is also the reason why the protectors of the young master of Wushen Mountain are all fifth rank.

Of course, Li Qi is not included. He has no protector. Zhu Fengdan seems to have forgotten? But according to Yanke, it is just because Zhu Fengdan can't find a fifth rank junior who is willing to help him.

Li Qi did not comment on this.

At the moment when Li Qi broke the news, this fifth rank treasure ship suddenly broke out with a violent vibration!
