"...In the Central Plains, if the emperor worships himself, it will be the same, and others will kneel on their behalf." Liu Qi said.

"Don't the emperor kneel down to Taoism?" An Wanli asked curiously.

"Of course, Daozu must kneel." Liu Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty Gaozu is my 56th generation grandson. It is natural for future generations to kneel down. But the Ten Directions to save the Heavenly Lord of Ku, Taiyi save the Heavenly Lord of Ku, and Fengdu Emperor is not the predecessor of the current saint. The saints, the royal family should not kneel down."

"Your Majesty Gaozu is my 56th generation grandson?" An Wanli said in surprise.

"Don't you know?" Liu Qi was also surprised. After Li Shimin became emperor, he kept promoting this matter. Later emperors also often promoted it. It has been more than a hundred years since then, but there are still people who don't know it?

"We only know that the royal family is a descendant of the flying general Li Guang, but not of the descendants of the ancestor Laozi. So, is Li Guang also a descendant of my son?" An Wanli said.

"Of course it's." Liu Qi responded with a smile, but thought to himself: 'Bad! The Li Tang royal family was probably a small civilian family before the rise of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In order to gild his face, he found historical celebrities to attach themselves to their ancestors. It happened that the Emperor Taizu of Tang rose to Wuchuan Town and was close to Shaanxi, so he found Laozi, Li Guang and others, who were also from the northwest, and pretended to be his ancestors.'

"It turns out that the emperor of this dynasty is so powerful! There have been so many celebrities from his ancestors!" An Wanli didn't know what Liu Qi was thinking, believed it and exclaimed.

"Don't be amazed, look at the rituals of worship in the future," Liu Qi interrupted.

"Yes, look at the worship etiquette." An Wanli immediately came to his senses and continued to watch.

Afterwards, a Taoist priest followed the army and first sprinkled a few cups of clear water in front of the table, closed his eyes and gestured with his hands, as if he was reciting a talisman.

After reciting about a stick of incense, the Taoist priest opened his eyes and said a few words to Li Gong, as if he was saying that the three gods had invited the temple.

Li Gong hurriedly saluted to the table, took the spur text of reviving the dead souls from the Taoist priest, put it in the incense burner on the table, and burned it.

"This looks similar to the Buddhist water and land temple." An Wanli said again.

‘This is of course. Taoism did not have such complex worship rituals at all. It was only after Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains and snatched away many Taoist believers that Taoism imitated these rituals established by Buddhism. Since it was imitation, of course it would be very similar.’ Liu Qi didn’t say anything, thinking in his heart.

At this time, Shuwen had been burned to pieces. The Taoist priests made some strange movements and muttered something, but of course Liu Qi and An Wanli could only see the movements and could not hear them. After a while, the Taoist priests stopped their movements, and the leader said a few more words to Li Gong. Li Gong came to the table again, muttered for a while, and stuffed some things into the incense burner and burned them. After that? Li Gong stood up? The whole etiquette was over.

"Is this over?" An Wanli said: "It feels very short and not as good as Buddhist etiquette." He was quite impressed.

"This is because we can't hear what the Taoist priests say. If we can hear it, it should be similar to that of Buddhism." Liu Qi said. Because there are many Buddhist temples in Anxi? Liu Qi has seen various Buddhist rituals several times and feels that worshiping the dead souls is similar to this? Not only is the same in the form, but it also takes about the same time. The only difference may be the content of the scriptures/subscriptions.

"The soldiers were all crying? The Protector's expression seemed to be very sad too? It must be praising the soldiers who died in battle." After hearing Liu Qi's words, An Wanli nodded, continued to look, and said again after looking for a while.

"I have to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service three days ago. The reward must be quite a lot? These people's expressions were very excited." He said again.

"Don't just look at it? Pay attention to whether there are big soldiers around you spy on it." Liu Qi said. As he said, he looked around and repeated this sentence loudly, awakening the soldiers who were addicted to watching.

"Yes." Everyone, including An Wanli, agreed immediately and stopped watching. Carefully observe whether there are big food soldiers around. Their place is very close to Li Gong's place. If the big food soldiers infiltrate it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"You two will immediately inform the soldiers around the flat ground in the middle? Please be careful of your guards." Liu Qi said to the two guards again. The two immediately took the order and retreated.

"Report to Liu Dupu, there are no big food soldiers." An Wanli listened to his subordinates' report? He turned his head and said to Liu Qi: "About incense stick, three big food soldiers spyed on him, but our army found that they shot arrows at him? Although they did not hit three people? They also retreated."

"Have there been reports of a large-scale soldiers from other places?" Liu Qi asked the guard again.

"Report to the Protector? No."

"It's so strange." Liu Qi was a little puzzled. "The Dashi Army has arranged thousands of soldiers in the hills all year round, and there are at least one hundred people nearby. When our army comes, they will definitely be able to learn that the people who have spied before are proof.

The generals of the Great Food were anxious to be unable to transfer too many soldiers to come, but hundreds of people were still OK. And if they could shoot and kill the Protector, it would be a huge profit for the Great Food, and even if hundreds of people were all killed in battle, it would be worth it. So why not send troops to attack?"

"Liu Dupu, isn't the current situation good? No matter why the generals of the Dashishi do not dispatch troops to attack." An Wanli said.

"It's pretty good, but I feel something is wrong."

"Maybe the generals of Dashi saw that our army was very tight in defense, so they did not dispatch troops to attack."

"Maybe. No matter what, you can't relax your defense. Maybe the big cannibal is staring at a certain place, and once a loophole occurs, it will pounce on you." Liu Qi said this, and then looked at other hills around him. I didn't know how many soldiers were watching the worship etiquette just now, which might have given the big cannibal a chance to take advantage of.

‘I hope there is no big loophole.’

After a while, Li Gong had already rewarded the person who made meritorious service and said another sentence to inspire everyone. When he walked down from a high place, the soldiers also had to carry the coffin and board the boat again.

"It's finally over." Liu Qi looked down and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Li Gong got on the boat, even if a big cannibal suddenly rushed out, he would not be afraid.

"It's over." An Wanli also said. He didn't like to watch the reward in the second half, and he didn't have the heart to watch it. He was nervous and he was always nervous. Once he found out, he ordered the interception. Finally, he didn't have to worry.

"The corpses of these people who died in the hills three days ago have to be moved twice. From the hills to the camp, from the camp to the camp and then here." After letting go, An Wanli began to think about other things.

"The Protector just promised them that after defeating the Great Food Army in the future and completely controlling the hills, he would worship all those who died in this battle at Gukou. They were worshipped twice, so what else would they be dissatisfied with?" Liu Qi said. Li Gong had discussed with him in advance.

"Okay, please tell the soldiers to pack up everything, and we should take it away." Liu Qi said again, preparing to leave here.

But at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain, the sound was noisy and chaotic!
