The distance to the winter solstice is getting closer.
Chen Yun, who was hiding on the mountain, also felt the strong festive atmosphere.
In ancient times, the Winter Solstice was an important solar term and also one of the "Four Times and Eight Rites" in the traditional festival culture of the Chinese nation.
In ancient times, the common people had the saying "The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year," which reflected the importance of this term.
Here it is worth mentioning that in the Tang Dynasty, the Winter Solstice was a statutory holiday.
Generally, officials would be granted a seven-day holiday, while officials' slaves and maids would have a three-day break.
Additionally, in Chen Yun's previous history of Chinese civilization, emperors would also hold the highest prayer ceremony on the Winter Solstice Day, the Circular Altar Sacrificing to Heaven Ritual.
Of course, this world is slightly different from Chen Yun's previous life. Now, the highest level of prayer ceremony is the Pujiao, in which the Circular Altar Sacrificing to Heaven Ritual is included.
"Seeing that the Winter Solstice is approaching, I need to go down the mountain to buy some offerings for the divine soldiers and generals to worship, and the white monkey's fruits are almost finished, as well as the flying snake which needs some meat; I have to prepare everything in order."
After practicing morning exercises, Chen Yun secretly pondered for a moment.
Soon, he decided to take the white monkey down the mountain to buy some things back for the festival.
...
At the foot of Mount Emei.
After more than a month of self-torture, Yin Wuji had become as emaciated as a zombie.
His two eyes were completely hollow, and there was no trace of blood on his face. His whole body was dirty.
If someone saw him at night, they would surely think he was a ghost.
"Kill! Kill Chen Pu!"
Yin Wuji's mental state had been abnormal even a month ago.
Now, another month had passed, and he had completely lost his mind, trying to kill Chen Yun to prove his "obsession" to his master and sister Xie Lingxiao.
There are many tangible or intangible trials in the path of cultivation.
For example, Chen Yun is in a trial of desire.
While Yin Wuji is in a trial of vanity.
