The Jade Dragon Festival is a traditional festival of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, which starts on the first day of March every spring and lasts for seven days. It has lasted for more than 300 years since the founding of the Jade Dragon Kingdom.
The Jade Dragon Festival is actually a ceremony to express gratitude to the Jade Dragon God and pray for the Dragon God’s surrender.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Jin, who is wearing a formal dress and looks completely different from usual, feels weird and absurd.
The Jade Dragon God was killed by himself some time ago. Who would have thought that at this moment, he would actually be presiding over a blessing ceremony for the Jade Dragon God.
Simply...
Lin Jin was at a loss for words and didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.
I want to laugh a little bit.
Very few people knew about the Jade Dragon God. Emperor He Gan knew very well that this matter should not be leaked, and could not be leaked. Therefore, in fact, the totem "Jade Dragon God" believed by the people and the actual Jade Dragon God who was killed by Lin Jin , is no longer the same one.
As a totem and belief, the Jade Dragon God is perfect and sacred.
But to be honest, the Jade Dragon God that Lin Jin had seen had nothing to do with being sacred. Instead, he was greedy, cruel, and selfish, which is a good description of him.
However, the common people who knew nothing worshiped the Jade Dragon God as the patron saint of the Jade Dragon Kingdom, and this worship was deeply rooted for hundreds of years. It seemed that the Jade Dragon God was very powerful, but in fact, he was regarded by the He family dynasty as a tool.
It's just a tool dragon.
Because it has lasted for more than three hundred years, this celebration and blessing ceremony is very complicated. It is not held inside the church, but on a wide street outside, and then goes to the Jade Dragon Temple.
It was already crowded at this moment. It is said that many people had come before dawn, and all they wanted was to go to the Jade Dragon Temple and burn incense.
The people are very superstitious about this. In fact, even if the old dragon is still alive, let alone the old dragon, it is impossible for him to bring any blessings to the people.
"Master Lin, it's time to start!"
Next to him, an appraiser spoke up to remind him.
Lin Jin nodded and began the boring and cumbersome ceremony.
In previous years, at the Jade Dragon Festival blessing ceremony, an appraiser was selected from the Appraiser Association to be the host, but most of them took turns among a few familiar people.
But this year, many people discovered that the host this time was a new face.
Not only is he a new face, he looks very young from the outside.
Naturally, some people are curious and some are suspicious. The identity of the young appraiser has also become the focus of discussion. Especially when the young man is seen wearing a three-ring animal pattern sleeve, many knowledgeable people are confused. .
In the Jade Dragon Kingdom, three-ring appraisers are absolutely rare. They can be counted on one hand. Many people can even name every three-ring appraiser in the Jade Dragon Kingdom like a treasure.
But many people don't know who this young man is.
But some people knew that after exchanging information, by the time the ceremony was halfway through, many people knew that the person who was hosting the blessing ceremony this year was named Lin Jin, who came from Hongye City and was the youngest three-ring appraiser in the Jade Dragon Kingdom.
"Even if he is a three-ring appraiser, he is still too young. Praying on the Jade Dragon Festival is so solemn and solemn. Can this young boy win it?"
Someone raised a question.
And there are quite a few people who think so.
Along the way, tens of thousands of people formed a flow of people, following the prayer team and flocking to the Jade Dragon Temple.
As the most important festival of the entire Yulong Kingdom in a year, it is naturally attended by many court officials. Not only high-ranking officials, but also many people from the He family came to watch the ceremony.
At this moment, at the Jade Dragon Temple, all the officials were dressed neatly and standing solemnly one by one. Further inside, there were people from the He family.
As the emperor, He Gan naturally had to be present. Behind him were all the princes and grandsons.
Several princesses were also present, and this year the sixth and seventh princesses also came.
He Qing was almost exhausted in the palace. She was playful by nature and loved the excitement. If she had the opportunity this time, of course she would run out and join in the fun.
On the contrary, He Yuxi was very happy. She usually did not come to celebrations like this, which she considered very boring. But this time she came. She even asked He Qian to come. The main reason was that He Yu quietly and quietly Something she said.
"I heard that the person hosting the Jade Dragon Festival blessing celebration this time is Lin Jianshi."
With just such a sentence, He Yu arrived, and from the very beginning, she had been looking outside, as if she was waiting for someone else.
He Qing next to him chuckled and whispered: "It's not yet time, Sister Yu, this is not like you. Are you so eager to see Master Lin?"
He Yu blushed because of He Qing, but she forced a straight face and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Master Lin saved me before, and I have never said thank you to him in person. This time I just want to thank him in person." That’s all.”
"I understand, I understand." He Qing's expression is one I know I know.
The two of them talked softly, after all, it was a very solemn occasion.
The emperor prayed for blessings. In previous years, the palace official would preside over the ceremony, but this year, His Majesty the Emperor did not do so as usual, but had to wait.
Wait for the host of the Appraisal Masters Association to come and lead this blessing ceremony.
There have been precedents for this in the past, but it rarely happened. Of course, there were well-informed people among the high-ranking officials in the DPRK and Central Government who understood that this was because of Lin Jianshi.
In addition, what happened the night before yesterday shocked the entire royal city. After all, thousands of city guards were mobilized to search for Yang Qingshi.
This order was given by Governor Zuo, but it was His Majesty who asked Governor Zuo to do the work.
Therefore, regarding Lin Jin, the upper-level circles have long started discussing and exchanging information. In short, Lin Jin is extremely capable and His Majesty values him very much.
However, most people still have reservations about Lin Jin's abilities, but everyone knows that this Jade Dragon Festival blessing event is a very good litmus test.
Because the last part of this celebration is to randomly select one person among the crowd to be promoted to a beast pet through a 'lottery' method. This is the most powerful method for an appraiser. For first- and second-level appraisers, In other words, no one can say that it is completely certain to promote a first-level beast pet to the second level. As for advancing from second to third level, it is even more difficult. A first-level appraiser cannot do it at all, but a second-level appraiser may happen to be able to complete it.
Even if you are a three-ring appraiser, you can't guarantee that you will advance from level two to level three. Fortunately, as long as you can reach the level of three-ring appraiser, you will still be very confident when it comes to advancing from level one to level two. In addition, the scene is dominated by ordinary people, and most of the beast pets owned by the people are first level. Therefore, in the past few decades, the first level has been promoted to the second level. The only difference is that the individual beasts are different.
Even so, if you can pick a beast at random and promote it from the first level to the second level, it will be a great test of the appraiser's ability. At least the second-level appraiser cannot do it yet.
Therefore, if Lin Jin can complete it successfully, it at least shows that he is truly a three-ring appraiser.
