Two hundred and ninetieth chapters festival
Yaoguo's year-end ceremony is an extremely important ceremony in Yaoguo. Every four years at the end of the year, it will be held by the three upper sects of Yaoguo in turn. This year it happened to be the turn of the Sun Yao sect.
Since the political system of Yao Kingdom is a joint governance model of multiple sects, the entire country also supports polytheism. Therefore, when each sect hosts a festival, they will have different opinions on the gods to be worshiped.
The chief deity of the Sun Yao Sect is the Sun God, also known as the God of Light, who controls time, light and power. It is rumored that the Qian Yang Jue practiced by the founder of the Sun Yao Sect is a gift from the Sun God. .
The reason why year-end festivals are extremely important in Yao Country is that the focus lies in the gift and divine grace aspects of the ceremony. The officiating sect will send a chief priest to lead the accompanying priests to offer carefully prepared sacrifices to the gods in the next few years. The country of Liyao can be blessed by the gods, and the weather will be smooth and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.
If the sacrifices offered at the ceremony are enough to satisfy the gods, the gods will send down miracles and gifts, and everyone present will be able to enjoy the blessings from the gods. In the future, whether it is practice or fighting, they will be more comfortable.
In particular, the chief priests and accompanying priests who are responsible for offering sacrifices can enjoy more divine favors. In the history of Yaoguo, there are many examples of miraculously reaching the extraordinary level shortly after the year-end festival. These legendary examples make the year-end festival even more special. .
Therefore, during the year-end festivals in previous years, in order to compete for the places of the main priest and accompanying priests, various sects would often develop from open and secret fights to martial arts competitions, with pig brains fighting out dog brains.
In recent decades, in order to solve the problem of selecting the number of gift-givers, Yaoguo has held a year-end competition every four years, setting up some prizes and trying to control disputes within a controllable range.
However, Yang Tianci, who had just won the place of accompanying the sacrifice in the year-end competition with the Ruyi realm, was now standing in front of Yang Xiuye, the leader of the Sun Yao Sect, with an expression of "I am a great injustice" written all over his face.
"Dad, otherwise, the place to accompany the sacrifice should be given to the Seventh Senior Brother. It is not easy for the Seventh Senior Brother to waste so many years in the magical realm. I got the place at such a young age. There will always be a chance to get it in the future. Besides, your son, I have such good qualifications. , I don’t feel like I need this kind of external force.”
Yang Xiuye sat on a high seat and meditated. Listening to Yang Tianci's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids, "What's yours is yours. Lao Qi has practiced with me for so many years, and now he can't even compete with the juniors. He only knows how to accompany the sacrifice." Put the sun god to shame."
Yang Tianci lowered his head and remained silent. He was the youngest son born many years after Yang Xiuye entered the transcendent world, so he was named Tianci. The seventh senior brother Yang Pixin he mentioned was already over ninety years old and his life span was getting closer and closer. Close.
The world of cultivation is extremely cruel. This senior brother with a kind personality but mediocre talent usually does not please Yang Xiuye. The more displeased he is and the lack of good cultivation resources, the more naturally his cultivation will lag behind others. , entering a vicious cycle.
"I will send someone to Lao Qi to deliver the Qianyang Pill. Whether it succeeds or not depends on his fate. Just prepare for the festival with peace of mind. This festival is very important. Don't say anything stupid about giving up the quota."
Yang Xiuye was particularly fond of this God-given young son. Seeing his silent protest, he had no choice but to relax.
He attaches great importance to this ceremony. With a rare ceremony like Peter's, perhaps the sun god will bestow an extraordinary divine grace. Otherwise, he will not spend so much effort secretly arranging for Yang Tianci to compete in the year-end competition. I passed the test all the way and was "lucky" to get a spot.
"Dad, I read on the Utopia forum that after monks achieve extraordinary things, they will be targeted by the gods, and then"
"Then he was devoured by the gods?" Yang Xiuye interrupted Yang Tianci with a cold voice.
Yang Tianci was shocked by Yang Xiuye's momentum, and the courage he had summoned to question the truth also dissipated, "But so many extraordinary seniors on the forum have stood up and spoken out, there can't be any lies."
"Are you afraid of being swallowed by the gods, so you don't want to break through the extraordinary?" Yang Xiuye stood up from the high seat, walked to Yang Tianci, and patted his confused face.
"I was wondering if those unexpected breakthroughs in the past after the divine grace at the year-end festival were caused by being eroded by divinity in advance!"
Yang Tianci covered his forehead where Yang Xiuye had knocked him, but he dared not speak out in anger.
"So what? You have also seen what was said in the forum. Divine erosion can suppress resistance, and even gods can be killed by monks. If you are corroded by divinity, you can break through to the extraordinary. So what if you are corroded?"
Yang Xiuye looked at his stupid son with a bit of hatred. He couldn't understand that the so-called year-end festival was Yaoguo's initiative to offer sacrifices to the gods in exchange for the so-called erosion of divinity. He also despised Shang.
Already.
Besides, this time there is also a rare sacrifice.
"Instead of worrying and worrying here, what you should do most is to stay in good condition to welcome the upcoming festival. If you want to solve the problem of the gods, you must first become extraordinary."
Huo Changge mingled among the crowds outside Chenxi Square and looked around silently.
As usual, the festival hosted by the Sun Yao Sect will start when the first morning light appears on the sea level. It is still about half an hour before dawn, but the square and the periphery of the square are already full of people.
It was still a completely dark night at this time, and the Dawn Square was lit with lighting spells and lamps. Guards were posted outside the square to keep out the monks and ordinary people who were not on the invitation list.
In the center of Dawn Square is the altar and the Yaoguo elites who are in charge of sacrifices today. Outside the central sacrificial area, the five major sects of Yaoguo and other scattered sects have divided the square into six large or small areas for them to watch the ceremony.
And an opportunity to share a little of God’s grace.
Huo Changge immediately saw Peter who was chained on the altar in the center of the square. This guy was too white. He had been stripped naked and chained to the ground like a domestic animal with white skin. He looked particularly special under the dim light.
obvious.
Peter seemed to have a premonition of his own end. The natives of these other worlds seemed to be using him to perform some evil ritual. He screamed for help in some despair, but judging from the reactions of the people around him, no one could understand him.
Calling for help, disgust and anticipation were written on everyone's faces.
Of course he would regret his impulsive escape from Utopia. If he could go back to that day, he would definitely not make such a hasty choice. At least he would live with Utopia for a while and learn more about the world before implementing his escape plan.
Although Huo Changge didn't study well before traveling through time, he could still understand simple words such as "help". He turned his head with some reluctance and carefully observed the movements in the square.
Lu Chuan had explained to him before he came here, and he understood the principle of repaying kindness with evil, but after all, Peter was also a time traveler, and Huo Changge would still inevitably have the intolerance of being hurt by other things.
His task today is actually very simple. He and many colleagues from the special task force are scattered in various directions in Dawn Square. After the festival begins, they only need to take some photos with their mobile phones and send them back to Utopia in time.
"Go away!"
"Sorry, sorry Master"
Time passed little by little, and suddenly there was a noise in front of Huo Changge. The guards outside the square seemed to have had a conflict with the people. An aunt was roughly pushed to the ground, and a man who looked like her husband was beside her.
He bent over and kept apologizing.
Huo Changge subconsciously wanted to help the person, but then he realized that this was not a suitable occasion. The Yaoguo people around him seemed to have been accustomed to this situation for a long time, and they all accused the aunt of bumping into the guard and being disrespectful to the gods.
Disrespecting the gods seems to be a very serious sin in Yao country. The couple eagerly wanted to defend themselves. Seeing that they still dared to argue, the people around them became even more rude in their words.
Some nearby people were also attracted by the commotion here. When they heard that someone was disrespecting the gods here, they joined in the accusation against the couple without asking what happened.
During the pushing and shoving, the couple's original position near the square was occupied by others, and the righteous people who worshiped the gods came to a position closer to the gods.
The couple was squeezed out of the crowd. The uncle was still trying hard to squeeze into the crowd, while the aunt just sat on the ground and howled, crying that she was not disrespecting the gods. Suddenly, the sky brightened slightly, and there was a burst of surprise in the square.
voice.
"Dang~dang~" The bells of Chenxi City rang at the right time, and an officiating monk wearing a black robe with red stripes walked up to the altar under the gaze of everyone.
【One leaf blinds the eyes】
Huo Changge used the invisible talisman, took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures. In the camera, the head priest of the Sun Yao Sect standing beside the altar was reciting a unique prayer, and the attendant priests standing on the second floor of the altar were also responding.
On the altar, in addition to Peter, who was wailing and begging with all his strength, there were many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that emitted precious light.
The formation pattern on the altar gradually lit up, but the pattern was a bright red color. Peter's cry gradually became fainter, and even the camera in Huo Changsinger shook a few times.
Great Sage Tongtian: "Oh my god! I never thought that Yaoguo was such a country. They actually sacrificed living people to the gods. If I understand correctly, the so-called gods should be the same as the gods we are discussing these days.
Something, right? [Picture][Picture][Picture]"
Netherworld Apostle: "???Holy shit, human sacrifice? Is this a cult?"
Tongtian Monkey King: "It's too exaggerated. A friend of mine from Yao Kingdom invited me to visit their year-end ceremony. I didn't expect that it would be a human sacrifice. And according to their Yao people, the sun god being sacrificed would be at the ceremony.
Respond to this world!"
With the beginning of the Yaoguo Festival, Utopia's actions on the Internet have also been carried out rapidly. The first step is to use the Internet celebrity account they have cultivated in the forum to speak under the hot posts about the gods and trigger discussion topics.
The early morning of Yaoguo is already morning in most areas of Jingguo and Wuguo. The latest comments of Internet celebrity users in hot posts, coupled with the official adjustment of the weight, immediately attracted the attention of ordinary users.
Linfeng was slightly tipsy: "What kind of ghost country is Yaoguo? Aren't they extraordinary? Don't you know that the gods are the enemies of all monks? They actually openly sacrifice to the gods, and they still use living people?"
Qianyuandong Qingxuzi: "We have some trade cooperation with Yaoguo. I just asked the elders in charge. Yaoguo seems to hold a year-end ceremony every few years, and Yaoguo may really have a relationship with the gods.
There are some deeper connections, which makes it difficult not to doubt whether this country's position is on the side of the human race."
The connection between Yaoguo and the gods does exist. As a new branch of the topic of gods, it adds new content to the topic of gods that everyone has almost exhausted in the past two days.
As a witness at the scene, Tongtian Monkey King's account constantly sent back photos of the Yaoguo scene. The cruel scene, the Yaoguo sect with a preset evil stance, and the people who were fanatical about the festival outlined a world deeply affected by the cult.
National Image.
Immediately afterwards, Utopia pushed the topic into the third stage, initiated by the official account.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Utopia: "@Tongtianmaisheng, hello, I am Jiao Beichuan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Utopia. Are the photos you uploaded in your post really taken today in Yaoguo?"
Netherworld Apostle: "Wow, Utopia Foreign Minister, is this a real person?"
Tongtian Monkey King: "Idiot You Ming, whoever posted on the forum is of course an official real person. @UtopiaForeign Minister, hello Minister Jiao, I swear to God, the photos I uploaded in the post are all from the Yaoguo scene just now.
taking pictures."
Utopia Foreign Minister: "Thank you very much. The man Yao Guo used for sacrifice in your photo is a time traveler from Blue Star like us, and is one of our members of Utopia's Chosen People. This information is very important to us.
The Yao Kingdom just attacked our core members on the Endless Sea last month, and today they used the chosen ones to sacrifice to the evil god. Faced with such obvious hostile behavior, we will immediately take necessary measures to defend our rights and interests."
The message sent on the forum in the name of Jiao Beichuan instantly detonated the forum. Yaoguo worshiped the gods and had in-depth cooperation with the gods to satisfy the people. The sacrifice used for the sacrifice was still a chosen one.
Something big is going to happen!
"Well done, the photos taken from your angle are the best. My family has already posted them on the forum." Yu Huan flashed to Huo Changge from another corner of the square, "Let's go, get ready to go to the next one."
The mission is over, we still have a lot to do before the First Army Corps comes over."
"Okay, Uncle Yu, wait for me." Huo Changge nodded, turned on Time Zero and ran towards the square under Yu Huan's puzzled gaze, returning to the location where he had just taken the photo.
The people here said that the divine favor this time was unprecedented. They cheered happily and praised the name of the sun god.
Huo Changge immediately saw the couple who had been squeezed to the edge of the square. The aunt no longer had the strength to push forward, while the uncle hugged his wife with a depressed expression. They did not disrespect the gods, but they still missed it.
This unprecedented divine grace.
He came to the two of them in a flash, grabbed two handfuls of Jingguo coins from the storage ring and stuffed them into their pockets respectively. Then, in a time that was so slow that it almost stopped, he wrote a note and stuffed it into the aunt's pocket.
in the pocket.
Chapter completed!
