Chapter 131
Dark Sky Village
Since I had never been to Seven Kills Village on Mount Tai, I decided to head there first. Mount Tai was a sacred mountain in the Shandong Province, well-known to most people from the Central Plains.
The reason for its fame wasn’t anything complicated. It was the place where the history of China began and where Qin Shi Huang first held the Fengshan Ceremony after unifying the realm. While the Fengshan Ceremony existed since the Zhou Dynasty, it was more about Qin Shi Huang trying to seek approval from the heavens after his reckless unification.
Due to its historical significance, emperors and unified rulers often visited Mount Tai to perform the Fengshan Ceremony whenever they had a chance. Perhaps that’s why there were many Gates and a significant number of Guard Soldiers in the vicinity. This was a precautionary measure to avoid unnecessary trouble if the emperor were to pass through.
