Although it is a historic event for the world governed by the Starfield Protoss, it is also a normal situation that people understand. Because of the existence of true gods, and the close relationship between true gods and the world and mortals, it is not uncommon for those management gods to appear in front of mortals in person and even help them solve their troubles in the star field territory. It’s just that for the lifespan of most mortals, there are not many opportunities to meet the gods in person, and the status of the gods is noble, so every time the gods come to the world, it will be very lively and grand. This is really a headache for the management gods, because for mortals, gods may only appear once in hundreds of years, and they feel that a grand celebration is needed to commemorate such a historic moment, but for the gods in the star field who have no concept of time Word…
It’s only been a while since the last time I came / I seem to have been to this world just now / Why did the last ceremony just end and now it’s starting again / Don’t they feel bored when they celebrate once in a while…
The above is a true portrayal of the heart of the gods: in their eyes, the concept of time is seriously out of touch with mortals with a limited lifespan...
Therefore, when they came out of the temple, Ilsen and Monina looked a little helpless, but when they saw the believers waiting outside, they still put on a faint smile and waved to the priests on both sides of the road regards.
A group of us pretended to be priests and followed behind, watching with smirks that the two brothers and sisters in front had to greet the believers with a compassionate gesture of helping the world: it would be ridiculous to let these two cheating + black-bellied peerless brothers and sisters stage this kind of drama It's really hard for them.
Lei, Eva, and Pope Mu, these three are the closest to God. Only they are allowed to walk directly behind the gods, who follow us. I was acutely aware that the three men walking between the Ilsen brothers and sisters and us were stiff and walking like zombies: it was a sign of nervousness. Can you not be nervous? God's descent was enough to excite them, but now they have a group of "gods" behind them. I can only ask Sandora to relieve them with spiritual appeasement, so as to prevent two of the old men from having a heart attack and being summoned by the Lord—but to be honest, I don’t think Lei and Mu’s physical condition is like suffering from a heart attack. The appearance of the outbreak. The Pope is still a woman who can run all the way from the Fourth Ring Road to the city center.
And in our group, a few younger ones wore priestly uniforms one size smaller just like the adults. Bouncing along with the team (Pandora is one of the safest ones), and making a giggling sound every now and then. These little guys who are quite moving and whose stature belongs to the loli stage no matter how you look at them attract attention after the two gods parading the streets. There are huge crowds of believers on both sides of the road who are allowed to pay their respects to the gods. One-third of them couldn't help but fall on these little girls. Probably no one could have imagined why such a group of children without rules and distance would follow in the team—it is estimated that after returning, Lei and Mr. Mu would both Some are busy.
"I said, do you need to put clothes on slime?"
I looked back and couldn't help but whispered to Qianqian next to me.
Mixed with those little girls, there is also a figure that is also very eye-catching. It is not that she is moving, but that she does not look like a human being at all: it is a jelly creature in a priest's robe, although it has the little girl's body. The shape—imitating a little crow—but the whole body is transparent, like a water bag, and even when walking, the body dangles, as if the flesh inside is about to burst out. This is the arcane bean that has recently become a toy for the little ones at home. Its intelligence is only as high as the self-discipline machine. Under the tossing of a group of brats, it has now turned into another brat according to its simplest "learning with printing" mode. This slime walked at the end wearing a priest's gown, imitating the appearance of his own little masters and waving to the surrounding crowd frequently. Every time he turned his head, he could cause a burst of exclamation: people in this world probably have never seen anyone who can walk upright. jelly.
"It's fun. It's fun."
Qianqian's answer was not at all what I expected. When I heard this reason, I could only sigh helplessly.
Those who stood on both sides of the road to meet the gods were ascetic monks. Although they were urgently organized teams, they were still laying the "holy road" strictly in accordance with religious etiquette. The ascetic monks in dark gray linen robes held a very broad broad leaf in their hands and spread it on the road that the gods were about to set foot on. And when the team passed by, the ascetic monks would collect these trampled broad leaves and put them in a big basket properly. The destination of the team is the large square in the center of the church district. The road is about half a kilometer anyway. I was thinking that the leaves they laid down along the way to set up a bonfire would be enough to burn 123 at the stake... In other words, why did I suddenly Think of such a curious thing
Behind the team of ascetic monks, there are female believers wearing gray and white robes. These female believers hold a kind of shallow plate in their hands. The plate contains clear liquid. Judging from the faint aroma, that It must be some kind of alcoholic drink.
Well, it’s really a strange religious ceremony, because I have never studied the relevant things in depth, none of the ritual scenes I saw was understandable, I just thought it was very lively.
Fortunately, there are enthusiastic people around me. Lin saw that I was confused, and immediately explained happily: "These rituals have been passed down from a long time ago. Those broad leaves are the first time that the 'Arroa' tree has fallen off. The leaves of the blue star believe that this kind of tree is divine, and their trunks are the pillars of the bridge connecting the gods and the mortal world. Therefore, believers use these broad leaves to pave the road walked by the gods to symbolize the gods. The process of coming from the gods to the mortal world is sacred. These leaves are collected after use and used to light the bonfire on the first night of the gods: local mortals believe that the leaves of 'Ai Luojia' rise when they burn. The smoke can reach the kingdom of heaven to report to the gods that the gods have arrived safely. In addition, the wine placed in the shallow dish is brewed with 'Mololo'. More than 800 years ago, this planet suffered from world-class famine and plague. , the catastrophe of human extinction was almost to occur, and after receiving the prayer, Brother Ilsen brought down a hundred Mololo seeds from the captain's garden, let them mature once every minute, and quickly resolved the disaster, from From then on, believers will dedicate the wine brewed by Mololo to the gods, and serve the wine that has been aged for many years to report to the gods the abundance of the world. In addition, there are still many activities for believers now. As for the explanation, it would be troublesome just to explain one by one... "
"Oh. Oh, that's enough, it's very interesting." I said to Lin with a smile. I just thought that the scene in front of me was very lively, but I never expected that there would be so many stories—every world has many stories.
"Ah. Although it's good to commemorate it, it's just a headache to respond to such ceremonies frequently," Bingtis murmured as he walked behind me, "Actually, at the beginning, apart from formulating the Bible, we They will not prescribe any ritual dogma for believers, but in the end they will organize their own strange activities, which makes people laugh and cry."
"Ahem..." Lilina couldn't help coughing: the Pope probably stands out among the protoss of the star field who are everywhere.
"Although you say that, you never seem to ignore these activities, right?" I turned my head to look at Bingtis, "Look at Ilson and Monina. The expressions on their faces are quite happy now."
Bingtis shrugged: "There is no way, many mortal races who believe in the star field gods were watched and grown up by their gods, and even many races were created by their gods, so for us, these believers It's really like a child—you can imagine. I created an intelligent race from scratch, and then watched them walk upright for the first time, learn to make tools for the first time, have their own words and Culture, watching them gradually have religious worship and values, and then put what they think is a "good thing" on the altar ignorantly but full of expectations. Just hope to make you happy-do you have the heart to turn your head and leave?"
At the end, Bingtis added: "So those prayers for blessings that are purely for our own selfish desires, we never respond, and we will even simply send a god to punish him: he is a bad boy and needs education. "
It is naturally difficult for me to have a personal experience of what Bingtis said, but it is understandable as long as I think about it, so I nodded hurriedly. At this time, the lengthy section of the road finally came to an end. The human wall formed by ascetic monks and nuns on both sides of the road stopped abruptly in front of a dividing line made of granite and about half a meter wide. It is the big square in the mission district—in fact, the square is just my understanding. I don’t know what this place is used for. It has a wide open space in the center, surrounded by high stands on three sides, facing us. On one side is an open entrance. This makes it look a bit more arena-like again.
Surrounded by believers, brothers and sisters Ilsen and Monina walked towards the tallest and most gorgeous stand in the middle. I tugged at Lin's arm: "What is this place for?"
"Ceremony," the Dragon Goddess girl said seriously, "There is a set of ritual ceremony handed down from ancient times, which is actually the process of letting all believers come to the gods in batches to admire the divine light and offer tribute at the same time, and if If the gods have something to say directly to the believers, they will also announce it at this time, um, it is equivalent to a celebrity meeting plus a press conference plus the National Agricultural Trade Crafts Commodities Expo... "
I stared fixedly at the girl of the Dragon God, and wondered when Lin, the girl, spoke so delicately.
I understand what she said, no matter how often the gods think they come down, for mortals, it is still a rare thing that is rarely seen in a hundred years (correct), and it is hard for the gods to come down once, and naturally the believers nearby will not hesitate All costs have to come together to pay homage, so simply hold a super-large-scale celebrity meeting so that gods and mortals can meet directly. This is unimaginable in those worlds that believe in false gods or simply have no gods to believe in (meaning that there are no actual gods to believe in), and there are only star field gods, they are happy to be with their "children", and they are very happy I am happy to provide some help within my ability that will not affect the development of the other party's civilization, so there will be such gatherings that the gods personally participate in.
"Oh, the party, the party," Qianqian was the first to jump out when she heard that there was something exciting to join in, "Is it interesting?"
Lin looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said rather troubled: "Actually, it's quite boring, sitting on it for hours without moving, and it's only interesting when receiving the tribute at the end: every once in a while, the child They will come up with a lot of new and interesting gadgets. It’s fun whether it’s useful or not. Ah, there are still Gale wood carvings they gave me more than 700 years ago in my castle. This kind of woodcarving is popular, so I made a set of the largest size for God, and I wanted another set later, but unfortunately the woodcarving trend in this world has passed—mortal people’s interest lasts so short.”
Me: "..." I always feel that the god of the star field is the least qualified to say such a thing.
Lin thinks the performance is boring, that's because she always stands in the position of being watched. Now you and we are standing in the perspective of the crowd in a disguise, it’s really interesting—seeing Monina and Ilsen who are usually joking and laughing, have to sit on the "God Throne" with their heads downcast, And secretly cooing at us. Why do I feel so good
The assembly to welcome the gods is also a grand celebration and entertainment for most of the participants. Except for the solemn ceremony in the center of the square, people in the surrounding areas can actually enjoy themselves in their own ways (it is said that the jingle stipulated in that year). As long as it does not violate the teachings, any entertainment is allowed. At the same time, after the apocalypse is confirmed, the church area will also be open to the common people to show God's love for mortals. This is one of the few cases where the ban is fully lifted in church districts with strict rules and regulations. In the next day or two, this kind of celebration will soon spread to the whole world. Every church holy place in the world will organize various celebrations. People gather in front of the statues to express their joy, and at the same time, they can receive unprecedented blessings from the gods: depending on the gods that descend on that day, the blessings will be different. But basically there are great benefits.
And in this process, what the gods who came to the mortal world have to do every day is to come out to accept the crowds of people, and watch other people carnival helplessly, just like watching a bear kid messing around with all his heart but not being able to participate in it...
The few brats who came with them had gone to nowhere except Pandora, and even the slime was gone. It seemed that they would not come back until the meal time, and Qianqian took her sister and Lin Xue to watch the entertainers outside the square perform all kinds of interesting tricks. All kinds of entertainers in this world firmly believe that showing their skills in front of the gods can receive blessings and make their skills more refined. At the same time, these tricks are also performed for the gods, but they cannot be placed in front of the sacred throne. So it can only be done outside the square: What an awkward rule you say, I saw the expression on Monina's face from a distance, as if there were nails growing on her buttocks...
And in this process, Sandora never forgot to search for all the edible things in sight, um, I mean, she never forgot to search for all the things in sight.
The whole family really came here with the mentality of traveling and sightseeing.
As for me? I'm not really interested in those talent shows, I just watched 123 and his sister roll their eyes so bored in the stands that it was cool.
Of course, there are also some interesting things that happen in places where believers gather, such as... all kinds of divine punishment.
Jingle ran out! Ding Dong is secretly drinking the drink that someone brought for the charity sale! Ding Dong is stealing fruits from other people's stalls! Jingle has been found! Jingle is being hunted! Ding Dong completed a Pentakill! Jingle is gone again! God knows when and where chain lightning will appear again!
"It was a huge mistake to let that little thing come out." I held my forehead and couldn't bear to see that a group of unlucky people who had suffered "God's Punishment" were standing up tremblingly, looking at each other inexplicably and speechless. The divine punishment they suffered is actually more like a joke made by Ding Dong, but the person concerned still has cramps all over his body, and it seems that he will soon get another three-inch Ding that actively turns into a Ding Dang ball. Where does the harm come from.
"By the way, none of these believers recognize the goddess of life?" Bingtis looked at Lin and Kenther inexplicably, "Ding Dong is the only one among you who is not disguised?"
"No way, the current believers don't know the exact size of the captain," Lin stuck out her tongue. "It's impossible to say in the Bible that the height of the Goddess of Life is 12 centimeters?" Eating troublemakers are associated with the Goddess of Life."
Me too."
A day passed with so much excitement, what is this, the first day when God and their child reunited after a long absence. But fortunately, 123 has not forgotten the business, and I have not forgotten that everyone in the Fifth Fleet is still hanging in the depths of space, so the next day, we sent people to search all over the universe for Lin Xue to see in the illusion. A foreign object arrived.
By the way, on the second day, 123 and Monina herself still had to be sacrificed to the public in the square, so they could only send out their own servants to go out for activities.
The good news is that since this world is managed by 123, there is a complete world management system in the local area (well, it’s also a pirated version, the Ding Dong team all use pirated versions, but the management system used by 123 at least knows how to apply upgrade patches in time) , it was not so difficult for us to search for "foreign objects". With the help of the servants who are familiar with the environment of the universe, the search went smoothly, and it only took one day. According to the system log in the world view, roughly It was determined where the "foreign matter" appeared.
Only three light-years away from the Azure Star. RQ
