Universal job transfer: Are dual-career professionals weak?

The Double Ninth Festival on September 9th is a festival to respect and love the elderly.

It is also a festival of sacrifice.

In ancient times, there was a saying: The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and wars.

When it comes to a country, there are two most important things: sacrifice and war.

Warfare comes after sacrifice, and even war is carried out for the purpose of obtaining spoils for sacrifice.

Huang Rong chose the ninth day of the ninth lunar month to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.

Inside and outside the city of Bianjing, colorful flags were flying, drums and music were playing, and the entire imperial city was shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

In the early morning, when the dawn broke, the Forbidden City was already bustling with people. Officials dressed in court robes, wearing tall hats and holding tablets, hurriedly gathered in the direction of Chaotian Hall, ready to participate in this solemn and grand court sacrificial ceremony.

In front of the Chaotian Hall, the square is wide and the center has been properly arranged. A high platform stands tall, on which tablets of the gods of heaven and earth are enshrined. It is surrounded by green pines and cypresses, adding a bit of solemnity and sacredness.

Under the high platform, incense tables are lined up, incense smoke curls up, and the air is filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and chrysanthemum, which is refreshing.

With nine long bell sounds, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

Huang Rong, wearing a dragon robe with twelve chapters and a crown on her head, walked slowly out of the Chaotian Hall and into the square. Hundreds of officials followed, arranged according to their rank, standing solemnly on both sides, waiting in silence.

She first went to the incense table, lit three tall incense sticks with her own hands, and worshipped heaven and earth devoutly, praying for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

Afterwards, the Minister of Taichang Temple read the sacrificial text. His voice was clear and echoed in the square. Every word and sentence was full of awe and gratitude to the gods of heaven and earth.

After the sacrificial text, music and dancing began.

The court musicians dressed in gorgeous costumes and holding various musical instruments played solemn and melodious music.

The dancers, dressed in colorful clothes, danced gracefully, like fairies descending to earth, adding a bit of agility and vitality to this solemn sacrificial ceremony.

The music and dance include both praises to the gods of heaven and earth and prayers for a good harvest and peace.

Normally, the Phoenix Kingdom should have held a sacrifice ceremony on the Double Ninth Festival or New Year's Eve last year;

However, Huang Rong was pregnant and could not preside over the sacrifice. Even participating in the sacrifice was regarded as disrespectful to heaven, earth and the gods, so naturally no one dared to bring it up.

Two days ago, Huang Rong proposed to kill Xuanyuan Dapan, and after discussing the pros and cons and feasibility, officials from the Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites took the opportunity to propose a sacrifice.

Everyone, including Huang Rong, immediately applauded in agreement, and even Li Sen expressed his deep agreement.

After all, Huang Rong truly received the blessing of the immortals last year. If she didn't express her gratitude and offer sacrifices, the immortals in heaven would be angry, right?

"Blood killing ~ flag sacrifice ~"

The joyful, harmonious and elegant sacrifice is over, and now it is time to offer sacrifices to the immortals.

woohoo~~

Dong~Dongdong~~

Amid the deep sound of trumpets and heavy drum beats, nine Nine Revolutions Grandmasters, who were tied up and decorated with chrysanthemums, were pushed onto the altar first.

Wind~wind~wind~

All the officials in the audience cheered in unison, as if they were showing their sincerity to the gods in heaven.

【Array Start~】

In the dark, Li Sen used his spiritual sense to control the formation, which was exactly the same as when Huang Rong ascended the throne. The combination formation he named "Prayer to Heaven Formation" was activated.

Nine executioners at the level of the Nine-Turn Grandmaster, holding incense in both hands respectfully and carrying ghost-head knives on their backs, walked up to the altar. They first knelt and burned incense towards the east, and then, at the order of the Minister of Taichang Temple, they raised their knives and struck down.

Before the nine heads could fly out of the altar, they were led back with a knife and landed in the place designated at the center of the altar.

"Huang Rong, are you going too far?"

At this time, some of the foreign envoys watching the ceremony angrily rebuked Huang Rong.

Unfortunately, his mouth was immediately covered by someone, preventing him from making any further sound.

The one who just died was the Grand Master of nine small nations, not an important character;

Many people want to see, what is Huang Rong trying to do by inviting people to watch a large-scale sacrifice when she is under joint pressure from multiple empires?

It is simply a fantasy to think that you can scare them with just nine ninth-level masters.

Sure enough, the next moment, three grandmasters, who were covered with dogwood branches, sprayed with strong liquor and spices, were carried to the altar by three executioners with the same grandmaster cultivation level using the Qi handprint, and knelt in front of the nine headless corpses.

"Huang Rong~ Stop it!"

"Your Majesty, our Dali Kingdom is willing to pay the ransom, please release the person."

"Huang Rong, do you want to go to war with my Tubo?"

All of a sudden, three angry voices were heard in the audience, including a cry of surprise, a plea for mercy, and a threat.

But not only did Huang Rong ignore them, even the officials of the Phoenix Kingdom ignored them.

This is a sacrifice and cannot be interrupted. If these three envoys dare to leave the viewing area, the people of Phoenix Country don't mind adding three more sacrifices.

These three envoys were also smart people. When they saw the encouraging eyes of the other envoys beside them, they immediately stood up. However, when they saw the expectant eyes of the grand master of the Phoenix Kingdom not far away, they sat down again immediately.

They dare to speak out, but they dare not stand out.

The next moment, three heads flew high up and landed accurately on the nine heads in the center of the altar.

"Huang Rong, enough is enough!"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Qin general Wang Ben, who thought the sacrifice was complete, could not help but scold Huang Rong in a deep voice.

"General Wang, please don't disturb the sacrifice of my Phoenix Country."

Huang Rong didn't say anything, but the Minister of the Ministry of Rites had already scolded her back in a deep voice.

“Not over yet?

You need to...

Xuanyuan Plate!"

Before Wang Ben could finish his words, he stood up with an exclamation.

Xuanyuan Dapan, a master of the Celestial Realm, was dragged towards the altar by three grandmaster executioners.

At this time, Xuanyuan Dapan was not like the twelve people before him who had no power to resist and couldn't even speak;

There was a cloth tied in his mouth but he kept whimpering and shouting, and his expression showed threats and curses.

His feet plowed two shallow marks on the bluestone floor, but he was still dragged onto the altar.

“Woo~ woo~~”

When he stood on the altar, Xuanyuan Dapan was already shaking his head repeatedly with a look of horror on his face, and he kept nodding in the direction of Huang Rong to show his submission.

Unfortunately, he is a chicken to scare the monkeys and must die.

"Your Majesty~No~"

"Empress Huangtian, please show mercy. The Dali Dynasty accepts defeat."

"Empress Huangtian, do you want to make the whole world your enemy?"

Kuang~kuang~kuang~

The executioners ignored the shouting and continued to carry out their duties faithfully.

However, the body of the Grand Master of the Celestial Realm had been refined by the power of heaven and earth, and the three executioners were unable to cut off Xuanyuan Dapan's neck even with three full-strength strikes, and could only make him bleed.

"Huang Rong, the executioner never strikes a second time!

Let him go quickly.

Hahaha~"

The envoy from Li State laughed excitedly when he saw this scene, and the other envoys also laughed softly.

Huang Rong glanced at the viewing platform calmly and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Feast!"

All the blood on the altar gathered together and merged into the altar under the twelve heads.

At the same time, blood from the wound on Xuanyuan Dapan's neck spurted out over three meters and was directly sucked to the center of the altar;

His body quickly lost weight as blood was lost, and his vitality faded even faster.

In order to kill Xuanyuan Dapan, Li Sen specially prepared a formation and used the power of Dijiang Star to carve a formation on Xuanyuan Dapan's body.

Soon the vitality of the Xuanyuan market completely disappeared.

"The ceremony is over~"

It was not until then that the Minister of Rites proudly walked up to the altar and proudly announced the end of the sacrifice.

However, Li Sen and Huang Rong looked towards the eastern sky expectantly.

There, a wisp of purple air is floating over.
