After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Pei Xuan no longer had the heart to listen to his subsequent chatter, as his mind was entirely on the young master of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

This young master should be the beloved disciple of the God.

With his intelligence and his good looks, it would be easy for him to charm a ten-year-old ancient girl.

If he could get this young master to speak well of him in front of the God, it would be much more useful than his useless biological mother and sister.

Immediately, he changed his target.

She planned to ask her biological mother and sister to help her pursue the young master of the Imperial Master's Mansion after she met them.

The gates of the capital city only open at noon.

Pei Jin sat in the car and waited for several hours before finally queuing up to leave the city.

By the time we arrived outside the Du'e Temple, it was already bright.

The carriages and horses in front of them were led in an orderly manner by the imperial guards to an open space in the distance.

Many people got off the bus in front of the shrine and stood there in twos and threes. Outside the shrine, there were already many people queuing up waiting to enter.

Pei Xuan felt overwhelmed looking at that team, which was probably about seven or eight hundred meters long with so many twists and turns.

"My two young masters, I heard that carriages and horses are not allowed to return once they stop at the parking lot. If we want to get to the gate of the shrine again, we have to go around a long way. Do you think we should get off in front of the gate?"

Pei Xuan looked back at the endless stream of carriages and horses behind him and decisively decided to get off.

Otherwise, after going around in a circle, you'll have to queue behind those cars and horses, and who knows how long it will take.

There are already so many people in front of him, he must ensure that he can enter today.

After getting off the car, other members of the Zhang family also gathered together.

A servant has already gone to get the news, and now reports to everyone:

"Just like what I heard before, the grand opening ceremony will start at 9:00 pm. Admission will start at 9:00 pm. We will have to wait for about half an hour."

"The Divine Palace has issued an order to the patrolling imperial guards. All beings are equal in front of the Divine Lord. No one may cut in line to enter."

"However, there are many civilians queuing up in front of us, willing to give up their positions at a high price, and the Shrine does not object to such transactions."

Madam Zhang immediately gave the order:

"Then what are you still standing there for? Buy the first ten seats right away so that I can wait for you to enter. When the ceremony is over, I will burn the first incense to the God!"

The Zhang family had dealings with Cihang Temple before.

The God values ​​sincerity, so what could be more sincere than offering the first incense stick today?

The servant who went to inquire about the news smiled bitterly:

"Madam, all the more than 100 seats at the front have been bought."

In the end, the ten masters from the Zhang family spent more than one hundred taels of silver to buy the first 150 or so seats for admission.

After waiting in the shelter for more than an hour, Pei Xuan finally lined up to enter with everyone else.

When entering, everyone was given a small wooden sign with a number on it, but I don’t know what it was for.

After entering the gate tower, in front of the majestic main hall, there is an extremely wide square.

Thousands of straw cushions have been placed in the square, and thousands of imperial guards are guarding the perimeter.

Everyone takes their seats according to the order of entry. Those who come in first sit in the front, and those who come in later can only sit in the back row.

It is said that the same order will be followed for offering incense later.

Despite such troublesome rules, none of the unruly dignitaries in the past dared to challenge them.

It can be seen how much these people respect the God of Du'e.

Such power and authority are truly fascinating!

Pei Xuan couldn't help but think to himself.

Amidst rituals and music, the grand consecration ceremony officially began.

The altar is set at the entrance of the main hall.

Several Taoist priests, both male and female, dressed in Taoist robes and with outstanding temperament, walked out, picked up incense and candles and began to worship, chanting ornate prayers to invite gods.

This is to invite the gods.

After inviting the gods, the ceremony will be consecrated.

I saw a gilded statue that was two people tall being carried onto the altar.

The female Taoist priest who led the worship took a cinnabar pen and put cinnabar on the eyes, nose, ears and mouth of the statue, indicating that the god began to perceive all things in the world.

The statue was carried back to the temple and placed on a pedestal.

After the consecration, the female Taoist priest led the others in chanting a scripture, praying for the gods to bless the believers, and the ceremony was considered over.

The next step is for the believers to pay homage to the deity and offer sacrifices.

At this moment, the sound of uniform footsteps was heard outside. Many imperial guards ran in and stood in two rows, directly isolating a passage in the open space outside the square.

"Your Majesty is here!"
