Bai Yun Chapter 77: The Kingdom of Fire
Although it was unpleasant, on the second day, Duanmu took three students as a special guest to participate in the Fire Nation's Great Advocacy Festival held in the square outside the Grand Advocate Palace.
The square is crowded with people, flags fluttering, and subjects of the capital are everywhere.
They surrounded the square outside the Dachang Palace, but it was not noisy at all, everyone kept quiet, and it seemed that this was an important day for the subjects of the Land of Fire.
On both sides of the square are the seats of nobles and guests.
Three little dogs sat behind Duanmu, quietly observing the biggest sacrificial event in the Land of Fire.
Sitting next to Duanmu was the general of the Fire Kingdom. The two didn't exchange a word during the whole process, and Duanmu didn't care much, just watched the sacrifice intently.
It's not that Duanmu is unwilling to maintain a good relationship with the nobles in the capital, but Duanmu's active choice.
It is impossible for all high-level executives in Konoha Village to be friendly to the Fire Nation, and someone will always come out to make this white face when needed.
It used to be Danzo, but now it is Duanmu.
This is the needs of the village. Duanmu approves of this arrangement, so he has a cold face at this time, and doesn't give a good look to the princes and nobles in the capital of the country of fire.
Duanmu looked at the sky. Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.
In the ninja world, the winter solstice is considered the day when the old sun dies and the new sun is born.
Daimyo preaches the divinity of the daimyo by presiding over this death-to-birth ritual.
Finally, Daimyo appeared. He sat on the chariot and was carried out by sixteen servants from the main entrance of Dachang Palace.
Even the servants wear precious silks.
The chariot came to a stop after exiting the gate of the Dachang Palace, and the daimyo stepped down from the chariot tremblingly.
The contemporary daimyo is a thin man with a long face.
In order to maintain the purity and nobility of the lineage of the daimyo gods, daimyo's families intermarry all year round.
Contemporary daimyo is the product of intermarriage of close relatives. His face is pale and his speech is hoarse. Duanmu does not have the same worship of daimyo as ordinary people in the land of fire.
Afterwards, four priests approached the daimyo and sprinkled the daimyo with holy water with ears of wheat.
The ear of wheat symbolizes that the **** of war brought rice seeds to the country of fire.
Holy water is the representative of divinity. This is also the famous bathing ceremony of Tian Yuyi in the ninja world, which means that the daimyo already has sacred attributes at this time.
After the **** bath, the daimyo walked to the **** bed.
The road is covered with mats of wild grass, a symbol of sacredness, something only the daimyo can use.
I heard that after the Dashang Festival, a part of the wild grass will be given to those who are blessed by the daimyo, and most of the wild grass will be burned, symbolizing the uniqueness of the daimyo.
The wild grass mat was already soft, which made Daimyo's figure even more unsteady, and I really broke into a cold sweat for him, such an important ceremony, if he fell, it would be great fun.
Then, the daimyo stepped onto the bed of gods.
It is said to be a **** bed, but it is actually a square high platform with nine steps. Nine is the highest number in the sun, symbolizing the highest status among celebrities.
On the bed of the gods, the daimyo begins a ritual called the "Shen's Bed True Quilt".
When Duanmu watched this ceremony, it was a ceremony to show that the Great God Shenwu possessed a contemporary daimyo. I don't know if it was true or not, but the daimyo acted like that.
Shenwu is very satisfied with the development of the country of fire now, and recognizes the work of the daimyo, and hopes that the contemporary daimyo will not relax.
The people at this time are the most silent and silent, and the sacred hour is not to be defiled.
After the daimyo danced and performed a dance of the gods, the daimyo began the final ritual of the daisho, called "eating with the gods".
A long table was prepared on the bed of God, and the daimyo sat for a section, and the table and chopsticks were also arranged at the other end, but the seat was empty.
The empty end is to thank the great **** Shenwu for coming to the country of fire once a year, praying for the disaster relief for the country of fire.
Finally, when the Great Advocacy Ceremony is over, the rituals belonging to the gods are completed, followed by the rituals belonging to people.
First is the time for the daimyo to speak.
Da Ming was so thin and weak that he couldn't speak, but saw an official walking quickly to the bed of God.
He didn't dare to walk on the bed, but stood three steps away from the bed and took out a loudspeaker...
Duanmu looked back at Do Luoluo, meaning that this was also made by your academy?
Dororo nodded, indicating that it was.
Duanmu thinks about it too. There was even a walkie-talkie in the original comic, so it's not surprising to take out a loudspeaker now.
The official spoke in the name of the daimyo, instead of the daimyo.
Duanmu didn't listen carefully to the clichés about thanking the gods and gods, etc., but he talked about Konoha in the speech, which gave Duanmu a spirit.
Listening to the big name's speech, Duanmu couldn't accept it for a while.
Probably means that the daimyo continues to effectively restrain ninjas from doing bad things. Last year, how many ninjas were punished at the request of the daimyo for killing ordinary people.
Daimyo hereby appeals that, for their own safety, if they see a ninja, they must report to the officials. The House of Fire will do justice for ordinary people.
If it is a foreign ninja, the Fire Ninja asks Konoha to kill or expel the foreign ninja from the Fire Nation.
If it is a Konoha ninja, the Ninja of Fire requires the ninja to leave Konoha Village without permission to leave the village, and return to Konoha Village immediately after completing the task.
Finally, Daimyo asks everyone to be careful to guard against ninjas. All ninjas are terrifying humanoid weapons. In the face of ninjas, ordinary people must unite closely under the command of Daimyo. Only unity can fight against ninjas!
Duanmu listened to his temples jumping. Is this how daimyo treats ninjas?
Duanmu turned his head and looked coldly at the general of the country of fire, that is, the military leader of the great name of the country of fire.
The general's face is very bad. This new advisor reminds him of Danzo before, and even he can't help but feel scared when he sees Danzo.
Now Danzang is gone and replaced by a young man, but the same coldness.
The general said carefully:
"Lord Consultant, when Konoha Village established the village, these were all recognized by the daimyo and the first-generation Hokage-sama of your village.
This is our publicity request, and the first-generation Hokage-sama has agreed to our request in large numbers. "
Duanmu frowned slightly, sighed, and stopped talking.
If it is the original purpose, it may really compromise.
It turns out that the hatred of ordinary people in the ninja world for ninjas is estimated to be the common understanding of several great powers.
Leaving Konoha Village, ordinary people in the land of fire are not friendly to ninjas.
After the daimyo's speech, it was the representatives of the nobles, the guests and the people who received the daimyo's blessing.
Duanmu reluctantly walked to the bed of God, and was sprinkled with a few drops of water by the daimyo in front of the bed.
The water droplets ran down Duanmu's face, and Duanmu took a lot of effort to hold back and not wipe it.
Daimyo also kindly shook hands with Duanmu, Duanmu thought, at this time you won't "be careful to guard against ninjas"?
