"This …"
Li Shimin couldn't answer because he didn't make any decision at all. He had to cover it up and said, "Eunuch Wei, get up first. We'll talk about it later."
Wei Zheng glanced at Yuan Tiangang who was not far away. His eyes were a little complicated. It seemed that His Majesty was going to pin his hopes on this warlock. Well, let's see what tricks he could play.
He didn't reply to Li Shimin, but turned to look at the officials behind him and said sonorously, "Everyone, since His Majesty is going to open the altar, let's get up and watch."
After that, he picked up the crutch beside him and slowly got up.
Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and said while holding him, "Eunuch Wei, be careful."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Wei Zheng shook off Li Shimin's hand and stood up slowly with his crutch on the ground.
Li Shimin asked for a snub and let go of his hand embarrassedly. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he glanced at the officials and said, "Everyone, please get up."
While speaking, the officials had got up and stood behind Wei Zheng. Of course, they got up not because of Li Shimin, but because of Wei Zheng. In their hearts, Wei Zheng was already a representative of virtue and prestige.
Seeing that everyone had got up, Li Shimin turned to look at Yuan Tiangang and said seriously, "Master Yuan, can we start now?"
"Your Majesty, we can start at any time."
Yuan Tiangang made a Taoist gesture and nodded.
"Then let's start."
Li Shimin waved his hand. While speaking, he glanced at Wei Zheng, intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of inquiry.
However, Wei Zheng didn't seem to intend to speak. He just held the crutch in his hand and squinted his eyes, giving people a deep feeling.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuan Tiangang nodded and waved his sleeves and walked to the incense table.
He first glanced at the incense burner table and then glanced at the unidentified object in the sky. Then, he slowly picked up the wooden sword on the incense burner table with his left hand and held it vertically in front of him. His right hand formed a seal and placed it in front of his nose as he began to chant.
"Wearing an imperial canopy on the head, walking on Kui Gang, supporting Liu Jia on the left, Liu Ding on the right, Liu Ding on the right, Huang Shen in front, and Yue Zhang behind."
As soon as the words left his mouth, his eyes snapped open. In that instant, they seemed to emit a bright light that was impossible to see or touch. Then, he began to brandish the wooden sword in his hand. First up, then down. It seemed disorderly and disorderly, but in reality, it contained the universe within it.
"The Nine Luminaries move in a straight line, the Primeval Origin lingers, the Flower Essence responds to the brightness, the Primordial Spirit disperses, the Flowing Infinite Hope descends upon me, the Radiant Vermilion Peak, the Primordial Spirit disperses, the Flowing Infinite Hope descends upon me, the Radiant Vermilion Peak, all things in the world, makes me a prophet."
He once again placed the seal on the tip of his nose and urged the incantation with a serious face. At this moment, he seemed to have entered a state of selflessness. Everything around him had nothing to do with them.
Everyone looked at this scene and didn't feel surprised because this wasn't the first time they had seen it. Every time the royal family offered sacrifices, they would let the official of the Imperial Astronomer perform the ceremony. Sometimes, they would invite Yuan Tiangang.
Although they were used to this, they still had some doubts in their hearts. Could a few words of incantation really see through this supernatural thing?
It sounded a bit mysterious. Although they all had doubts in their hearts, no one said it out loud. After all, this was passed down by their ancestors for thousands of years. Maybe there really was some magical power.
Li Shimin didn't know about these different thoughts of everyone. At this time, he clenched his fists and stared with his eyes wide open. It seemed that he wanted to see something from such a ceremony, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything.
He now completely pinned his hopes on Yuan Tiangang, or this ceremony, so he was the most nervous and didn't want anything to happen. At this time, he was like a tight bowstring that would break with a little carelessness.
Moreover, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he must give the world an explanation, an answer, and appease the restless people. Otherwise, how could he face the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face showed the sadness again. He subconsciously took out a cigarette from his waist and stretched out his slightly trembling right hand to touch the fire roll, but he didn't feel anything.
At this time, Little Guizi quickly took out the fire roll from his waist and handed it over respectfully. He was the close eunuch of His Majesty, so it was necessary for him to have sharp eyes. Since he knew that His Majesty liked this kind of thing, the fire roll at his waist had never been broken.
Li Shimin glanced at Little Guizi out of the corner of his eye and nodded slightly. He stretched out the cigarette, lit it slowly, and took a deep breath. This relieved his tense nerves. After a while of relaxation, he moved his eyes to Yuan Tiangang, who was performing the ceremony.
Yuan Tiangang had adjusted the posture of the wooden sword in his hand, but he still kept chanting.
"Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is dispersed, the mystery in the cave, the Taiyuan is dazzling, and the gods in all directions make me natural. The talisman of Ling Bao tells the Nine Heavens."
As soon as he finished speaking, he respectfully looked at the wooden sword in his hand, then placed it on the incense table. He let out a long breath, took out three copper coins from his sleeve, and threw them on the incense table. Then, he clasped his hands together and began to chant. After a quarter of an hour, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the copper wire.
