The statue of the goddess that had been stored in the temple was moved to the square. Although it was still covered, the cloth on the surface had been replaced by props. A layer of hazy mist enveloped the statue of the goddess, with a faint golden light in it, making it more beautiful.
Divine.
The ringing of the bells is just the beginning of the God’s birthday. From this time on, the normally invisible envoys will perform two sacrifices to the gods, while the saint’s task is to perform the temple circumambulation ceremony at the same time. However, this temple circumambulation ceremony is the same as usual.
There are some differences. There will be six altars raised in the temple, and the saints from the Holy Land City and the other five satellite cities will perform activities around the temple on the altars.
I heard these procedures from the mouths of believers, "Compared with the previous temple circumambulation ceremony, today's ceremony seems to be simpler."
Players don’t have to crowd on the streets, they can watch from buildings everywhere, and players in different zones won’t stop them, they just arrange manpower and instruments where players are more concentrated – yes, today’s Holy Land City has carried out space props
Limitation, general teleportation props and instruments cannot be effective under interference.
"I have inquired. In the past, the ceremony of circumambulating the temple was to walk. Today's ceremony to circumambulate the temple is to kneel." Huang Mao pointed to the big altar in the middle, "Look, how inhumane it is, even pregnant women are made to kneel.
"
There are only hundreds of saints in the Holy Land City and the satellite city, and a small number of them are pregnant. The saint who has talked with Xu Huo several times before is also on the altar in the middle, and the reserve A Hai is on the left.
On the altar.
They knelt around the altar and worshiped. In the center of the altar sat the angels. The first sacrifice had now begun. They were wearing long robes and covering their heads and faces. They were praying in obscure languages.
After Xu Huo listened for a while, he saw the kneeling saint stand up, walk half a circle around the altar, and then kneel down again.
There are audio equipment on the street, so the words of the divine messenger can be accurately conveyed to the ears of the believers. These people listened fascinatedly, as if they were immersed in an isolated world.
Xu Huo saw in the crowd the female player from outside the area who told him the facts about baby swapping and raising children. She was followed by several players. She noticed his eyes and raised her head to smile at him. Her calm and weird look was the same as before.
There is no difference under the statue of the goddess.
Although they don’t know what they are going to do, there are a lot of preparations on the temple side. In addition to the players in this area who can be seen everywhere, several divine envoys are surrounded by senior players, including those from this area and those from other areas. Several gods
Except for the one on the altar in the middle, everyone else was wearing props. It was difficult to tell whether they were players or not.
But the person on the central altar is an ordinary person.
In this high and enthusiastic atmosphere, it was noon, when the sun was at its strongest. Many believers were sunburned and sweating profusely, but this did not stop their enthusiasm. They did not even plan to have lunch.
When I went to eat, I used the dry food I brought with me to make a meal.
The same goes for the angels and saints on the altar. When others are resting, they just sit there and meditate.
"Pah! Pah!" The high-altitude floating balloons kept bursting under the high temperature. From time to time, fragments fell from it. As the fragments fluttered, the eye patterns on them also swayed. Occasionally, at a glance, these falling eyes looked like
It's like blinking.
Xu Huo took a piece and felt a weak spiritual power when it fell on his hand.
Is it the spiritual power of the dungeon goddess dispersed on it, or is it the handiwork of the temple players?
Soon, the time came to the afternoon, and the second sacrificial ceremony and temple circumambulation began. During the process, the divine envoy on the middle altar suddenly stood up, lowered his head and asked the goddess for blessing.
The arrival of the blessing part made the whole city cheer. Suddenly, heavy rain fell from the sky. They raised their heads, opened their mouths, and used their mouths and hands to catch the rain.
"These seem to be evolution agents." Huang Mao tasted a little and said, "After a long time, it was not a blessing from the goddess, but a blessing from the players."
No matter who gave the blessing, this "sweet rain" restored the energy of the citizens after a day of exhaustion.
Then it was time for the saint and the goddess to communicate.
Xu Huo checked some arrangements for God's birthday in the past. The communication process between the Saint and the Goddess basically consists of a few fixed questions. They either ask the Goddess if they are well, or ask whether the future of the partition is safe, and then ask the Goddess to provide answers to all the Saints.
Baptism - The hermaphrodite as a saint represents the hermaphrodite who founded the Goddess Religion. They are closer to the goddess than other believers, and unlike the messengers who are full-time messengers, they are the ones favored by the goddess.
But today this process has changed.
The saint who had talked with Xu Huo stood up, looked at the statue of the goddess in the square in front of her, then slowly knelt down and said: "Goddess above, believers in snow clothes and one hundred and one saints are prostrating.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the saints on the altar changed their direction and knelt facing the door of the temple.
Saint Xueyi looked at the statue of the goddess calmly and continued: "If you hear our voices, please show your true face."
The prop effects on the goddess statue were removed. After the hazy fog dissipated, the complete goddess statue was revealed. And this was not a simple statue. The statue was originally placed facing the front of the square, and its face was also facing the same direction.
But after removing the props, no matter which direction the goddess statue is in, the goddess faces him, as if there are multiple shadows superimposed on the statue.
Of course, in the eyes of others, the goddess has one and only one face, and it is always facing him. She is solemn and solemn, revealing the sanctity that people dare not look at directly.
In Xu Huo's eyes, the goddess statue looked completely different.
It can no longer be called a human figure, but a human figure with carved eyes and messy patterns. The same goes for the entire head, including the face. The densely packed eyes sometimes open and sometimes close, even without launching an attack at all.
People instinctively avoid.
There were some super evolved players in the crowd or players who relied on props to avoid mental interference. They showed pain at the first sight of the goddess statue and had to distance themselves from the goddess statue.
Huang Mao, who was standing next to him, cursed, covered his eyes and backed away, "I'm going blind! Is this the true strength of the goddess?"
"Where is this?" Xu Huo's expression was calm. The goddess looked similar to the object he had seen before in the Concubine Hall. The absolute mental strength could force people to accept a huge amount of blood in the moment of looking at her.
Information shock - simply stuffing things into a person's brain can cause brain damage to an advanced player in a very short period of time. In severe cases, it may cause coma or death on the spot.
It doesn't even require a variety of interference processes.
