Although it is a historical event for the world governed by the Star Realm Protoss, it is a normal situation that people are relatively familiar with. Because of the existence of the true God and the close relationship between the true God and the world and mortals, in the star domain,
Within the territory of the domain, it is not uncommon for those management gods to appear in person in front of mortals and even help them solve their problems. However, in the life span of most mortals, there are really few opportunities to meet the gods in person, and the gods themselves
Noble status leads to a lively and grand ceremony every time a god comes to the world. This really gives the management gods a headache, because for mortals, gods may only appear once in hundreds of years, and they feel the need to be grand.
Celebrations can commemorate this historic moment, but for those gods in the Star Territory who have no concept of time...
It's only been a while since the last time I came. It seems like I've been to this world just now. Why, the last festival just ended and now it's started again. Don't they feel bored after celebrating for a while...
The above is a true portrayal of the hearts of the gods: in their eyes, the concept of time is seriously out of touch with mortals with limited life spans...
Therefore, when they came out of the temple, Ilson 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.
Salute.
A group of us pretended to be priests and followed behind. We watched with evil smiles as the two brothers and sisters in front of us had to greet the believers with a compassionate gesture that would help the world: It is terrible to let these two deceitful and scheming brothers and sisters perform such a drama.
It's really hard for them.
Lei, Eva and Pope Mu, these three people are standing closest to God. Only they are allowed to move directly behind God, and we are followed behind. I very keenly noticed the Ilson brother and sister walking
The three people between us were stiff and walked like zombies: this is a sign of nervousness. Can they not be nervous? The arrival of gods was enough to excite them, but now they are followed by a group of "gods"
.I can only ask Shandora to use mental comfort to give them some relief to prevent two of the old men from having a heart attack and being called away by the Lord - but to be honest, I don’t think Lei and Mu’s physical conditions are able to
He looked like he was having a heart attack. The Pope was still a tough guy who could run all the way from the Fourth Ring Road to the city center.
Among our group, a few of the younger ones, like the adults, were wearing smaller priest uniforms. They jumped along with the team (Pandora was the most calm one among them), and from time to time they would make a burst of noise.
The sounds of laughter and laughter. These little guys, who are quite noisy and are in the loli stage no matter how tall they are, attract attention second only to the two gods parading in front of them. There are huge crowds of believers on both sides of the road who are allowed to pay homage to the divine light. One-third of them
His eyes couldn't help but fall on this group of little girls. Probably no one could imagine why such a group of random children would follow the team - I guess Lei and Mr. Mu will be busy after returning.
"I said, do you need to put clothes on the slime?"
I looked back and couldn't help but whisper to Qian Qian next to me.
There was another figure mixed with the little girls who was also very eye-catching. It was not that she was very moving, but that she did not look human at all: it was a jelly creature in a priest's robe, even though it had the appearance of a little girl.
It looks like a little crow, but it is completely transparent, like a water bag. It even sways when walking, as if the liquid inside is about to burst out of the body. This is a child who has recently become a child in the family.
The toy's arcane bean. Its intelligence is only as high as that of a self-disciplined machine. Under the tossing of a bunch of naughty kids, it has now turned into another naughty kid according to its simplest "imprint and learn" mode. This Sly
Mu walked at the end wearing a priest's robe, imitating his little masters and waving frequently to the people around him. Every time he turned his head, he would exclaim: No one in this world has ever seen a jelly that can walk upright.
"It's fun. It's fun."
Qian Qian's answer was not what I expected. After hearing this reason, I could only sigh helplessly.
Those standing on both sides of the road to greet the gods were ascetics. Although they were a team organized urgently, they still laid the "holy road" in strict accordance with religious etiquette. The ascetics wearing dark gray linen robes held a
Plant very wide broad leaves and spread them on the road that the gods will walk on. After the team passes by, these trampled broad leaves will be collected by the ascetic monks and placed properly in a large basket.
The destination of the team was the large square in the center of the mission area. This road was probably half a kilometer long. I was thinking that the leaves they had laid down along the way to set up a bonfire would probably be enough to burn 123... why?
I suddenly thought of such a curious thing?
Behind the team of ascetic monks are female believers wearing gray-white robes. These female believers are holding a very shallow plate in their hands. The plate is filled with clear liquid. Judging from the faint aroma, it should be
It's some kind of alcoholic drink.
Okay, it's really a strange religious ceremony, because I have never studied related things in depth, and I can't understand any of the ritual scenes I saw, but 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 'Elokia' tree has fallen off."
The leaves of the Blue Star people believe that this kind of tree has divinity, and their trunks are the pillars of the bridge connecting the divine world 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 divine world to the mortal world is sacred. These leaves must be collected after use and used to light a bonfire on the first night of the gods' descent: local mortals believe that the leaves of 'Elojia' rise when they burn.
The smoke can reach heaven to report to the gods that the gods have arrived safely. In addition, the wine placed in the shallow dish is brewed with 'Morolo'. More than 800 years ago, the planet suffered from world-class famine and plague
, a disaster that almost threatened the extinction of mankind. After receiving the prayer, Brother Yiersen brought a hundred Morolo seeds down from the captain's garden and let them mature once every minute. The disaster was quickly solved.
After that, believers will offer the wine brewed by Morolo to the gods, and bring the wine that has been aged for many years when the gods descend to report the wealth of the world to the gods. In addition, there are many activities for believers now.
As for the explanation, it would be troublesome just to explain it one by one..."
"Oh. Oh, that's enough. It's very interesting." I said to Lin with a smile. I just thought the scene in front of me was very lively, but I didn't expect that there were so many explanations - in every world, there are many
It's a story.
"Ah. Although it's good to commemorate it, it's just a big headache to have to respond to such festivals frequently," Bingtis muttered as he walked behind me. "Actually, in the beginning, in addition to formulating the Bible,
We will not prescribe any rituals and dogmas for believers, but in the end they will organize all kinds of bizarre activities on their own, making people laugh or cry."
"Ahem..." Lilina couldn't help coughing: This pope must be a standout among the strange Starland Protoss who are everywhere.
"Having said that, you never seem to ignore these activities, right?" I turned to look at Bingtis, "Look at Erson and Monina. The expressions on their faces are quite happy now."
Bingtis shrugged: "There is no way. Many mortal races that believe in the Star Realm Gods grew up under the watch of their respective gods. Many races were even created by their gods themselves. Therefore, for us, these believers
It's really like children - you can imagine. You create an intelligent race from scratch, and then watch them walk upright for the first time, learn to make tools for the first time, and have their own writing for the first time.
and culture, watching them gradually develop religious worship and values, and then put what they think are "good things" on the altar with ignorance but full of expectations. Just hoping to make you happy - can you bear to turn around and leave?
"
At the end of the sentence, Bingtis added: "So we never respond to those who pray for blessings purely for selfish desires, and we will even simply punish them by God: they are bad children and need education.
"
It was naturally difficult for me to have a personal experience of what Bingtis said, but it was understandable as long as I thought about it, so I nodded hurriedly. At this time, this long road finally came to the end, and the people on both sides of the road
The human wall of ascetic monks and nuns ended abruptly in front of a dividing line made of granite and about half a meter wide. Beyond that was the large square of the mission area - actually speaking of a square is just my understanding.
I don't know what this place is used for. There is a very wide open space in the center. The open space is surrounded by high stands on three sides. There is an open entrance on the side facing us. This makes it look a bit like an arena.
appearance.
Surrounded by believers, brother and sister Erson and Monina walked towards the tallest and most gorgeous stand in the middle. I pulled Lin's arm: "What is this place for?"
"Performance," the Dragon God girl said seriously, "there is a set of performance rituals passed down from ancient times. In fact, it is a process in which all believers come to the gods in batches to pay homage to the divine light, and at the same time offer tributes, and if
If the gods have something to say directly to the believers, they will also announce it at this time. Well, it is equivalent to a celebrity meeting plus a press conference plus the National Agricultural Trade, Crafts and Small Commodities Expo..."
I looked at the Dragon God girl intently, thinking to myself, when did this girl Lin speak so delicately?
I understand what she said. No matter how often the gods think they come, to mortals, it is still a rare thing that can only be seen in a hundred years (no mistake). If the gods finally come once, naturally the believers nearby will not hesitate to do so.
They have to pay their respects at all costs, so they simply hold a large-scale celebrity meeting to allow gods and mortals to meet directly. This is credible among those who believe in false gods or simply have no gods (referring to the fact that there is no actual god to believe in)
The world is unimaginable, and only the gods of the star field are happy to be with their "children", and are happy to provide some help within their capabilities that will not affect the development of the other party's civilization, so there are such gods who personally participate.
Rally activities.
"Oh, it's a gathering, it's a gathering," Qian Qian was the first to pop up when she heard that there was a lot of fun to be had, "Is it interesting?"
Lin looked at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, and said in a troubled manner: "It's actually quite boring. Sitting on it for several hours without being able to move is only interesting when you receive the tribute at the end: every once in a while, the child
We will come up with a lot of new and interesting gadgets. It is fun whether it is useful or not. Ah, my castle still has a pile of Gele wood carvings that they gave me more than 700 years ago. At that time, they were very special.
This kind of wood carving was popular, so I made a set of the largest size for God. Later, I wanted another set, but it is a pity that the wood carving trend in this world has passed - the duration of mortal interest is really short."
Me: "..." I always feel that the God of the Star Realm 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 we are standing in disguise from the perspective of the crowd. It is really interesting - watching
Monina and Erson, who were usually laughing and joking, had to sit down on the "god seat" with a downcast face and make a fool of themselves, and secretly winked at us. Why did I feel so happy?
The gathering to welcome the gods is also a grand celebration and entertainment activity for most participants. Except for the solemn ceremony in the center of the square, people in the surrounding areas can actually enjoy themselves in their own way (it is said that the jingle bells are
(as stipulated at that time). As long as it does not violate the doctrine, any entertainment activities are allowed. At the same time, after the arrival of God is confirmed, the church area will also be open to civilians to show God’s love for mortals. This is a rare example of a church area with strict regulations.
There are several situations of comprehensive lifting of the ban, and in the next day or two, this kind of celebration will soon spread all over the world. Various celebrations will be organized in every church holy place around the world, and people will gather in front of the statue to express their joy.
, and at the same time, you can also receive unprecedented blessings from gods: depending on the gods coming that day, the blessings will be different. But basically they all have great benefits.
And in this process, what the gods who came to the mortal world have to do every day is to come out and be watched by all the people, and watch eagerly at other people's carnival, just like adults who are watching naughty children having fun but are itching to get involved but can't participate...
The few naughty children who came with them have gone to unknown places except Pandora, and even the slime is nowhere to be seen. It seems that they will not come back before dinner time, while Qian Qian is dragging her sister along with her.
He and Lin Xue ran to watch the various interesting tricks performed by the artists outside the square. Various artists 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 to
God can see it, but it cannot be placed in front of the sacred throne in a grand manner. So it can only be done outside the square: You said this is such an awkward rule. I saw from a distance that the expression on Monina's face was like a butt.
It looks like there are nails growing on it...
And during this process, Sandora never forgot to search for everything in sight that looked edible. Well, I mean, she never forgot to search for everything in sight.
As expected, the whole family came here with a tourist mentality.
As for me? I’m not really interested in those talent shows. I just watched 123 and his sister in the stands so bored that they kept rolling their eyes and it was quite satisfying.
Of course, some slightly pleasant things will also happen in places where believers gather, such as... various divine punishments.
Dingdang ran out! Dingdang was secretly drinking the drinks that others brought for charity! Dingdang was stealing fruits from other people’s stalls! Dingdang was discovered! Dingdang was being hunted! Dingdang completed a five-kill! Dingdang disappeared again! God knows
When will chain lightning appear again somewhere?
"It was a huge mistake to let that little thing come out." I covered my head and couldn't bear to witness it. A group of unlucky guys who had been "punished by God" were standing up tremblingly, looking at each other inexplicably without saying a word. The punishment they suffered was actually not the same thing.
It's more like a joke made by Ding Dong, but the person involved is still unavoidable from cramps. It seems that he will soon get another three-inch penis who actively turns into a Ding Dong ball. That little thing can really cause harm wherever he goes.
"By the way, none of these believers recognize the goddess of life?" Bingtis looked at Lin and Kense inexplicably, "Dingdang is the only one among you who is not disguised, right?"
"No way, the current believers don't know how old the captain is," Lin stuck out her tongue. "It's impossible to have a special note in the Bible that says 'the goddess of life is twelve centimeters tall'? We wouldn't steal someone as big as a palm."
The troublemaker who eats is associated with the goddess of life.”
Me too."
The day passed like this in a lively manner. What could it be? It was the first day that the gods and their children reunited after a long absence. Fortunately, 123 did not forget about business, and I did not forget that everyone in the Fifth Fleet was still suffering.
It was hanging in the depths of space, so the next day, we sent out manpower to search the universe for a certain foreign object that Lin Xue saw in the illusion.
By the way, 123 and Monina herself were still to be paraded in the square the next day, and they could only send out their own servants of God 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, yes, all the Ding Dong team uses it, but the management system used by 123 at least knows how to apply upgrade patches in time), we
It was not that difficult to search for "foreign objects". In addition, with the help of divine servants who were familiar with the environment of this universe, the search work went smoothly, and it only took one day to roughly determine the location based on the system logs of the system in the world view.
