Zhao Changhe felt a little wronged. He only knew the surface of the Four Symbols Sect's teachings and had never read a single word of the vast scriptures in the sect. Strictly speaking, he was not worthy of being a god of the Four Symbols Sect. He had nothing to say about what the wives were discussing, so of course he was thinking about what he should do in this ceremony.
We can't just sit there and let Suzaku and the others introduce this as our Night Emperor to the followers in a dry manner.
Many believers saw the successful sword forging, so there was no problem in convincing the believers, but it was a pity that it was not at the ceremony. At least a little "miracle" should be shown at the ceremony, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
There are two kinds of miracles. One is more virtual, using the Galaxy Sword to resonate with the stars in the sky, and then the sky will be full of stars twinkling, as if they are obeying your command. Just like when Sisi was first worshipped, the spirits saw the phantoms of the myriad spirit beasts and became extremely pious...
But this will be considered a bit of a scam in the eyes of knowledgeable people, after all, they can't see the actual effect. There are many top-notch masters in the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and there are several on the Human Ranking, so there is no point in fooling people.
Zhao Changhe was looking at the fire and thinking, if he wanted to achieve some real results, he could only do something with the fire, and at the same time he promised Suzaku to help her break the imperial realm. If they could let their Suzaku Master break through the imperial realm in front of all the believers, the effect would be self-evident... Of course, it is highly unlikely that he could break the imperial realm directly, but a sudden increase in cultivation should not be a problem. People with insight would naturally understand that this was also the carrot that the new god was dangling in front of them.
But how to help Suzaku break the defense? Dual cultivation is the ultimate means, but it cannot be implemented directly, and it is even more impossible to do it at the ceremony... How to implement it still needs to be figured out.
I thought about these questions in my head, and when I was asked, I said them directly. After I finished speaking, I realized: "That's not what I meant..."
Zhuque was so angry that his face turned red: "The Lord God wants to unify the four symbols, but it is not something that can be done by just three inches below the navel. You have not even read a single word of our sect's scriptures. How can you have the face to talk to the sect members in the future? Speaking of which, the Lord God just promised to receive the same punishment as Chi Chi, so from now on, from the holy sect scriptures to various exercises, you must copy them all!"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
"Someone come!" Zhuque left with a wave of his sleeves: "Get the four treasures of the study and copy the book for King Zhao!"
Zhao Changhe looked at Sanniang and Xia Chichi for help. The women who were fighting just now were now very united and turned their heads at the same time.
… …
At night, when the first star twinkles in the sky.
All important ceremonies of the Four Symbols Religion begin at this time.
In terms of the season, if the sky is clear and you can see the stars, then the most obvious constellation at this time should be Xuanwu, which almost occupies the entire center of the sky. But now it is snowing on winter nights and the sky is quite cloudy, so it is difficult to see the stars. You can only see one or two occasionally, and the moon is basically invisible.
The headquarters of the Four Symbols Sect was in a high-ranking official's residence somewhere in the capital. The underground was dug and an important altar was built. But today's leader ceremony did not choose this important headquarters that had been used for nearly ten years. When the saint became her majesty, the headquarters was the imperial palace.
Everyone gathered naturally in the Taimiao, which is now the headquarters.
The underground space was not very large, but the Four Symbols Sect had a strict hierarchy, as could be seen from the fact that the Venerable punished the Saint Girl as if she were bullying his grandson. There were only a few dozen people who were qualified to enter the core underground to participate in the ceremony, and the rest were all kneeling outside watching the internal live broadcast.
There are obviously no stars in the sky, but there are in the underground sky. The bright starlight is like lights, illuminating the underground platform.
At the top of the platform, Zhao Changhe sat quietly alone, with a low table in front of him. He sat cross-legged with a pen in hand, copying ancient books calmly.
In the eyes of others, he is truly calm and composed, and not afraid of anything even if the sky falls.
The significance of this ceremony to the believers was unprecedented, because countless people witnessed the creation of the galaxy and the coming of the Night Emperor.
Everyone is thinking that the God is currently correcting the shortcomings of the doctrine and informing everyone of the correct understanding. The magnanimity of God lies in the fact that he does not need to prepare in advance, he can write and issue it immediately, and all living beings will obey his orders.
Suzaku and Xuanwu were wearing the most solemn robes and the most standard masks, standing on both sides of the stage.
Xia Chichi was the most special one. She usually used the Qinglong series when she was out, and the people she brought with her were usually from the Qinglong Hall, because she fought for the Qinglong series herself. The robe she used in the sect was the White Tiger robe, which meant that she inherited the direct lineage from her mother. The robe she wore was also a plain white robe that was very handsome. Zhao Changhe had only seen it during the Langya Sword Contest.
But at this moment, the dragon robe used was white, which seemed to represent the combination of the white tiger and the blue dragon, and it was also the emperor's robe that had the characteristics of the Four Symbols Sect.
People then remembered that the original theme of today's ceremony was to establish a leader...
Zhuque stood at the edge of the stage and announced calmly: "According to the precepts of the era, the day when the four symbols become one is the day when the Holy Religion establishes its leader. The Holy Religion is established as the foundation, without a leader, and the four symbols will rule together. Only when someone with all four symbols appears in the world can he become the leader. Therefore, since the beginning of this era, the Holy Religion has been without a leader."
"However, the venerables of this generation have agreed that the interpretation of the proverb is wrong. The so-called four symbols returning to one, and the establishment of a leader in the holy religion, should mean the coming of the Night Emperor, not the intention of the leader of the religion. The leader of the religion is the one who is closest to God and speaks for Him. What does it mean to be the one who is closest to God? One is the one who is closest to God, and can explain its meaning..."
At this point, almost all the followers looked back and forth between Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi, with a smile of "we understand".
Of course, he is the closest to God. The first time everyone heard the name Zhao Changhe was on the day when the Saint entered the sect. Rumors spread like wildfire: Have you heard that the new Saint slept with a gang leader for two months. I don’t know how many positions they played. Can such a person be a Saint
At first, the Venerable had made her a saint against all odds, and later, her own practice convinced everyone, and slowly suppressed these doubts. Now I know that it should have been done long ago for a saint to serve the gods.
If she is not the closest person to us, who else can? If she can’t be the spokesperson, who else can
Zhuque's voice became even colder: "… The second one is the most proficient in the teachings and can understand the obscure; the third one has the deepest practice and can understand its control; the fourth one is mostly a side knowledge and knows a little bit. This is close to God, but not God, and can be the master of the holy religion in the world."
"The Saint Xia Chichi now possesses both Azure Dragon and White Tiger systems, and has touched the secret of Black Tortoise. Her Azure Dragon intention is close to control, her body is in harmony with the stars, and she is like a flying dragon in the sky. It only takes a moment for her to go from Yangzhou to Beijing. She summoned the Azure Dragon's shadow and broke the Wang family's camp. There are many such things."
"Today, Suzaku and Xuanwu have discussed together that the Saint Lady is qualified to be the leader of the sect, speak for the affairs of the gods, and lead the gate of the Four Symbols."
Following the words, Xia Chichi stepped onto the stairs.
As Zhao Changhe imagined, the coming of gods to the world requires some "miracles"; in fact, even the leader needs to play a trick.
As Xia Chichi climbed the stairs, the stars in the sky that were clearly obscured by clouds suddenly began to twinkle, and bright lights peeked out from behind the thick clouds, one step at a time. Gradually, the Azure Dragon in the east and the White Tiger in the west all lit up, and then the Black Tortoise also became looming. The only thing she had not learned was the Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird was helping her cheat and secretly lit up the stars in the south.
So when Xia Chichi climbed up the high platform, the four symbols appeared in the sky.
The believers were very excited and bowed their heads in worship.
Xia Chichi was not actually standing at the top of the building. The "Venerable God" at the top was still copying a book without saying a word. A little below him, there was a dragon throne. Xia Chichi stood in front of the dragon throne, threw his cloak, and turned around to sit on it.
Zhuque and Xuanwu looked at each other, and reluctantly stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Master."
Damn, I was actually very willing to do this. This is how a leader should be appointed.
But after the fight today, I'm not willing to give in at all, little bitch.
Originally, Xia Chichi had to stand up and ask the two venerables to stand up, and then the venerables had to bless him, pat his head, etc., which meant that the leader had to respect the opinions of the venerables and could not have the final say. But this etiquette was changed.
The two venerables sniffed secretly and stood aside. Venerable Suzaku brought a cup of tea from somewhere and lowered his head, "Master, please have some tea."
"Hmm." Xia Chichi leisurely reached out to take the tea, lifted the lid of the tea bowl and blew away the tea foam.
Four Elephants Sect members: “???”
Venerable Suzaku, are you out of your mind? You trampled your own master's principles into the mud? Originally, although the leader was respected, the Venerable was able to restrain him and would not be too one-sided. What about now
The face under the Suzaku mask turned red, extremely embarrassed, and whispered to himself: "Little bitch, hurry up and say a few polite words, or else you will accuse me of rebellion!"
Xia Chichi felt very happy, and finally said slowly: "I am just acting on behalf of the gods, and I don't deserve such courtesy from you. You are my mentor. If I do anything wrong in the future, you can stab me in the face..."
The believers felt that their breaths that they had been holding were relaxed. This was right... To be honest, Zhuque had dominated the Holy Church for so many years. Her prestige was not comparable to Xia Chichi's. Zhuque was the leader in people's minds. Even if Xia Chichi was supported as the leader, in fact, in the eyes of many believers, it was because of her current status as an emperor. In fact, most believers recognized Zhuque far more than Xia Chichi.
Zhuque snorted secretly, not wanting to argue with the little bitch any more, and turned around and said, "As everyone knows, today is not only the ceremony of the leader of my Holy Church, but also a more important matter..."
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Changhe, and they thought to themselves, isn't there something missing in announcing the coming of a god like this
Zhuque was a little hesitant, but he still said: "We found our Night Emperor!"
As the voice was spoken, Zhao Changhe suddenly said: "Venerable Suzaku..."
Zhuque was stunned for a moment. What are you trying to do
I had no choice but to respond: "What instructions does the God have?"
"There is no need to announce matters concerning gods... I have never heard of announcing who is a god. The ceremony can just decide on the leader." Zhao Changhe continued without raising his head while writing with his brush: "As a god, he should bless the ceremony instead of introducing anything."
Zhuque said unhappily, "How is the Lord God going to bless you?"
Have you finished copying the book
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "For me, the person I want to bless more is Venerable Suzaku. The Venerable has worked hard for the Holy Church for more than ten years without any selfish desires. He supports the best to be the leader and is willing to be the assistant. The Four Symbols Church can be without gods, but it cannot be without Suzaku."
Zhuque looked at him in a daze. Although he was very pleased with his words, he had no idea why he said these words at this moment.
Zhao Changhe continued: "The Vermillion Bird should be granted the Southern Bright Fire to forever control the southern sky."
As he spoke, he stretched out the brush in his hand and lightly tapped the southern part of the underground sky.
It was as if his words came true and his magic pen came true. As he pointed, a flame exactly like the fire under the ground burst out from the sky.
The flames swooped down, danced around the Vermilion Bird, and gradually turned into the shape of a firebird. The sound of the phoenix's cry pierced the sky.
The congregants were stunned.
The response of the stars in the sky when Xia Chi Chi took the stage before was actually the resonance that can be caused by the Four Symbols Technique when it is practiced to a certain level. The followers of lower levels did not understand and thought it was very awesome, but the followers of higher levels knew that it was no big deal.
But no one could understand this move. Where did the fire come from? Why did it fall from the sky
Not only was it true fire, its blazing temperature and violent power even surpassed that of the Suzaku Master himself! That was truly the Southern Ming Fire, the source of the Suzaku!
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Please come up, Your Excellency."
Zhuque stepped onto the platform in a daze, wanting to grab him and ask what was going on, but he had to give face to the gods in front of everyone, so he knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said, "Venerable God..."
Zhao Changhe stroked her hair gently and said slowly: "Look..."
Zhuque's heart shook violently, as if with this touch, his mind entered a special space.
In the space, magma was everywhere, and in the center was a ball of blazing white fire that faintly emitted the most original fire power.
There are some insights... If you tell others, they are very obscure and hard to explain. But in Suzaku's eyes, it is no different from revealing it directly to you, which is very intuitive.
The understanding and perception of fire instantly ascended to a higher level.
The stars under the Suzaku seat stared blankly at the surging flames of their own venerable. Anyone who practiced fire could feel their own fire attribute being pulled by the venerable, and they jumped with joy and submission. It was a unique worship of the gods who controlled fire, and it was very clear.
Venerable Suzaku, who had originally fallen behind Venerable Xuanwu and had even been surpassed by Xia Chichi in the use of some of the realm control techniques, has once again come to the front.
And who else could be the one who could grant the Venerable an ascension to such a level if not the true God
All the Four Elephants followers prostrated themselves on the ground and whispered to the platform: "God has come to the world and guided us on our way forward..."
The blind man stood aside with his arms folded and cold eyes.
It was a hammer god who was born. That was the natural five elements on the second page of the heavenly book. This guy took the meaning of Nanming Lihuo and stuffed it into the heavenly book for analysis. The heavenly book analyzed it and gave it to Zhuque. Of course, Zhuque's level improved by leaps and bounds.
This is not over yet, there is a follow-up, and that is the reality.
As thousands of people bowed in worship, Zhao Changhe said calmly: "The leader has been established, the blessings of the meritorious officials have been completed, and the rest of the complicated ceremonies should be simplified as much as possible. Let's disperse."
"I will obey your command."
Zhao Changhe was still rubbing his head: "Everyone, please leave... Reverend Suzaku, stay."
