Chapter 557 The Ancient Altar (4000)(2/2)
Some people who know the inside story say that both Zhang Liang and Xun Yu were from Yingchuan.
He had met Xun Yu several times when he was young, but at that time Xun Yu had already been promoted as Xiaolian and appointed as the palace guard. In addition, he was from the famous Xun family in Yingchuan, so he was already quite influential at a young age.
Celebrities.
Compared with Xun Yu, Zhang Liang's family background and abilities were quite different.
However, when Xun Yu met him, he was not arrogant. Not only did he talk happily with him, he also encouraged him to study hard and practice hard, saying that he would definitely accomplish something in the future.
Since then, Xun Yu has become Zhang Liang's idol and target.
Not only did he follow Xun Yu's encouragement, he also regarded Xun Yu as an object of imitation. He had to imitate Xun Yu's hobbies and behavior to the last detail, including of course Xun Yu's habit of incense.
And it's even worse than that.
It seems that as long as it is more fragrant than Xun Yu, it can be blended better than Xun Yu, so much so that people are sent outside all day long to search for various spices and combine them to make incense with a unique smell.
This sudden sacrificial ceremony was held for the first time, and the people in the city were quite surprised by it.
In their view, Zhang Liang was not doing his job properly this time.
So.
This Zhang Liang is also a rare flower that can only be seen in a hundred years.
As for how Zhang Liang got connected with Zuo Ci and followed Zuo Ci's advice to hold the sacrificial ceremony, Yang Wanli did not find out.
Wu Liang was not surprised.
After all, the people in the city did not know who Zuo Ci was before, and it was difficult for the people to see the process of his interaction with Zhang Liang, so there was no way to explain it.
But one thing is certain.
That is, Zuo Ci has not been in Jinyang City for a long time, and he has not made any appearance before.
"What time is it?"
Seeing that the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony had been completed long ago, but the real host had not yet appeared, Wu Liang estimated that it was almost time, so he asked casually.
"It's already time to apply."
Yang Wanli replied.
"Then it should start."
Wu Liang looked around and said.
The ancient sacrificial ceremonies of the Celestial Dynasty are no different than others. The starting time is calculated by calculating the auspicious time. Other things may be able to change the time, but this is absolutely impossible, otherwise it will be equivalent to letting God go.
Pigeon, what was originally a good thing has turned into a bad thing.
While talking.
"Boom!"
A gong sounded.
"Please invite Magistrate Zhang to come on stage!"
"Please invite Master Zuo to come on stage!"
“Dignified guests please come half way up the stage to watch the ceremony!”
At some point, a young boy ran to the red carpet under the ancient altar, banged the gong in his hand, and shouted with all his strength while pulling his neck.
The voice fell.
As if it had been rehearsed in advance, the group of people walked out from behind the ancient altar.
The leader, a fair-skinned middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's official uniform and carrying a seal and ribbon, came to the stage with steady steps.
Behind him, there is an old man who is estimated to be about fifty or sixty years old. The old man's hair is already gray, but he looks energetic. His eyes are always slightly lowered, and there is no expression or look. In addition, his hair is thin.
It is also very good and has not turned into the Mediterranean like Yu Ji.
See the gray-blue robe on this old man and the order in which he appeared.
It is not difficult to guess that he should be the legendary Mr. Wujiao Zuo Ci.
If the folklore is correct, even though Zuo Ci does not look older than Yu Ji now, he should have lived at least nearly two hundred years old.
Of course, this is self-proclaimed.
Yu Ji previously claimed that he had lived for more than a hundred years, but in fact he was only in his nineties.
And at this moment.
