The end of the year has passed,
The snow continued to fall.
"Your Highness! Secret report!"
One of the men of sacrifice walked quickly to the Xu father and son who were taking a walk in the mansion. He knelt on one knee and held a secret letter in his hand.
Xu Xiao took the envelope and opened it.
Looking at the words on the secret report, the prince was stunned on the spot.
Xu Heyun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what was going on and remained silent.
Xu Xiao rolled up his sleeves and continued,""Today is your crowning ceremony. Let's go.”
Xu Heyun helped his father press down on his mink hat, collected his mood, and walked forward.
The three of them stepped onto the stone steps leading to the back of the mountain.
The stone steps were very high, reaching the top of the mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, his line of sight suddenly widened. What greeted his eyes was a small courtyard. Outside the courtyard gate, there were two stone lion statues.
Xu Xiao looked back at the path up the mountain.""I'm getting old."
At this moment, a mountain wind blew.
In the twilight, the sea of clouds drifted away, and the mountains looked like islands in the sea. The mountain wind blew again, and they were hidden in the sea of clouds and waves. The atmosphere was magnificent. Occasionally, a dozen thick mushroom-shaped pillars of cloud would rise from the sea of clouds and rise into the sky. They would fall and scatter, turning into wisps of clouds. It was a unique scene in Jiuhua Mountain.
"When your mother was alive, she loved these two stone statues the most.”
"At that time, she always said that the little lion under the big lion was like your mother and you children.”
"Your mother's love for you has never stopped. Everyone said that I, Xu Xiao, was crazy and cruel, a butcher of the world of the living, a vulgar person with no manners, and that the heavens and earth would not tolerate my family.”
"I don't care about any of this."
"Today, your coronation ceremony is not to sacrifice to heaven and earth, but to worship your mother.”
Xu Xiao said hoarsely as he looked at the stone lion in the courtyard.
"Xiao Yun, let's go."
The prince looked at Xu Heyun, who was still staring at the stone lion.
The eldest son of the king of North.
Your Highness.
He walked onto the stage.
He knelt on the ground.
There were hundreds of female servants on both sides, all kneeling and kowtowing.
Head Butler Song Yu's mellow voice entered everyone's ears.
"Crown."
"Change clothes."
The giant drum began to sound.
The entire Imperial Residence was enveloped in the mighty drumbeats.
The Crown Prince took off his brocade robe and put on his Yuan robe.
" On another auspicious day of the next month, I will begin to wear the crown. I will abandon your young ambition and follow your virtue. I will live a long life and be blessed."
"This crown is an ancient one. After today, you cannot wear it again. After this crown, you can become an official and rule people ~"
The Prince of Yan Bei, Xu Xiao, held a crown in his hand and gently placed it on the prince's head.
"Son, the imperial families of the seven kingdoms and the entire world are all staring at your crown.”
The Prince of Yan Bei's voice was very soft, so soft that only Xu Heyun, who was closest to him, could hear it.
The Crown Prince knelt on the ground and stared at the memorial tablet of the Princess Consort.
"Crown removal."
"Change clothes."
Deafening drumbeats were heard.
Steward Song Yu's voice sounded again,"
" The auspicious month marks the day when you wear your clothes, respect your dignity, and be virtuous and prudent. You can live for ten thousand years, and you can live forever. The leather cap is the crown of the feudal officials. It also represents the power of the army and hunting. After this crown, you can enter the military camp and take control of the army.”
"Crown removal. Change clothes."
The voice sounded again.
"With the year's order and the month's order, all the brothers are present to achieve their virtue.”
"Accept the blessings of the heavens ~"
Listen,
Listen carefully.
Listen carefully again.
It was like the soul song of Yan Beizhen.
It was Yan Beizhen's soul song.
It was also congratulating the eldest son of the King of Yan Bei!
On this day, in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, in the Daliang Dynasty, the eldest son of the King of Yan Bei of the Yan Bei Dao was crowned.
........
The following year.
Xu Heyun was also here, and he went to the coronation ceremony.
When he knelt down in front of the princess consort's spirit, he finally understood.
What was the prince thinking when he knelt here?
From that moment on, he truly regarded himself as a member of the Xu family from the bottom of his heart.
........
Mount Wudang.
The sacred land of Daoism in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the Daliang Empire's Mount Heming, and the Great Song's Mount Mao were known as the Three Great Daoists.
Speaking of Mao Mountain, it was said that hundreds of years ago, the second disciple of the sect master of the Crane Mountain lineage snatched the position of the sect master from the eldest disciple. The latter was schemed against by his fellow disciples and was disheartened. His realm fell, so he left this sad place and went to the Song Country to establish the Maoshan Sect.
That was why there were only two Daoist sacred grounds in the Daliang Empire. Mount Wudang had been suppressing Crane Cry Mountain for hundreds of years. However, ever since the last emperor ascended the throne, Crane Cry Mountain had become the ancestral court of Taoism.
However, even though Wudang had been silent for decades, no one dared to underestimate the thousand-year-old foundation of this mountain.
Although Zhang Sanfeng, the current Sect Leader's Senior Brother, did not occupy one of the top ten masters of the Daliang Dynasty, it was rumored that he had split open a mountain with a single move of the Immortal Shows the Way.
No matter if it was a rumor or an exaggeration, he was still a highly respected old immortal of the Dao Sect.
The two hundred Yan Bei cavalry were mighty.
A tall and sturdy old warrior in a black robe was running with a long saber, causing dust to fly everywhere.
A group of people rushed straight to the memorial archway of Wudang Mountain.
The two leading riders actually stepped on their horses and crossed the archway before reining in.
At that moment, the Crown Prince, who was riding on a strong military horse of Yan Bei, laughed at himself. He looked at the group of Taoists who had been attracted by the grand array and shouted,""I'll give you an hour to get your manager out here!”
Xu Heyun, who had come to send them off, looked at the group of Taoist priests who were in a dilemma. Then, he looked up at the towering Wudang Mountain. He was filled with emotions. He did not expect that he would really be able to come to this place that he yearned for.
"Second brother, send me here."
"I'm going to play on the mountain for a while.”
Xu Qinian turned to look at his younger brother, who was highly respected by the Yan Bei army, and grinned.
"Got it." Xu Heyun did not insist. He turned his horse around and headed down the mountain.
