Chapter 156: Holy Land and Rituals

"What does a famous holy place look like?"

This is the most curious question for many people who have never been to the tribal shrine. After all, in addition to being the first place where the true God first appeared, the Holy Land is also the largest and most populous city in the human world.

The population of the entire Holy Land is nearly 80,000 people, and a quarter of the tribal population is concentrated here. Therefore, even the capital of Xihe is far inferior to the Holy Land in terms of population.

Similarly, the Holy Land is the only one of the many human cities that does not have walls. Because here is the strongest force in human civilization. For example, the weakest Templars and Tribal Warriors who were blessed twice and then retired, as well as the powerful Wyvern Knights and Griffin Knights, as well as various magical beasts inspired by the True God.

Therefore, the Holy Land does not need walls, because all the believers feel that there is nothing in this world that threatens it.

But what is even more miraculous and worthy of praise is Liang Tian's essence, which is now regarded by believers as a sacred tree of God's gifts.

With the passage of time, Liang Tian's body, which still doesn't know what kind of giant tree it is, has now become bigger and bigger. The tree is 100 meters high from root to crown, and the diameter of the main trunk is even more than dozens of people can surround it.

Therefore, the branches of the giant tree stretched out, and it encompassed a large area. So much so that when standing at the bottom and looking up, it can't help but give people a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

Therefore, even if it was still ten or twenty kilometers away from the Holy Land, as long as Ye Li and the others looked to the east, they could also see the figure of the tall giant tree. In this way, when they really came to the Holy Land, even Ye Li, who had been a kingdom general, had already been blessed twice. After looking up and seeing the tall canopy, he still couldn't help but sigh with a shocked face: "This is really great, and it's no wonder that the former tribe would regard this as the incarnation of the gods!"

After that, I couldn't help but fall to the ground.

He personally participated in the Western Expedition and received two blessings from Liang Tian, and it can be said that Ye Li, who has seen a lot of knowledge and has endured hardships for a long time, is still like this, and what are the other people who are traveling with him?

All of them were shocked by the giant tree in front of them and fell to their knees, not daring to show the slightest disrespect on their faces. But seeing this, the residents of the holy land could not help but feel a kind of disdain and pride when they saw the countrymen entering the city.

After all, this is something that can shock outsiders, but they have long been surprised by the fact that they have lived in the Holy Land all year round.

Therefore, some idlers couldn't help but gather around at this moment, pointing and pointing: "Look, this group of people is really exactly the same as the group of people three years ago." But I just don't know that after receiving the blessing, there will be a few of these people who want to stay in our holy land. ”

"Hah, it seems. It should be no less than last year's. ”

Pointing and pointing, he couldn't help but have a kind of pride in his tone that belonged to the people of the Holy Land. This is normal, after all, the holy land of the tribe is not only a holy place, but also the most prosperous and lively place in the human world.

Everything that should be in the human world can be found in the bazaars of the Holy Land, and the lives of the inhabitants of the Holy Land are much stronger than those of other places, and it is natural to have such pride.

However, Ye Li and his entourage are not those powerless countrymen after all. They are the blessed Templars and the soon-to-be-blessed Templar reserves. This identity, whether in Xihe or the tribe, belongs to the upper class.

Therefore, these residents of the Holy Land only dared to talk about it behind their backs, and they didn't dare to provoke Ye Li.

So after they couldn't help but bow down to the giant tree, they were taken to the core area of the holy land by the members of the church who took the initiative to welcome them. But the five hundred people who stood out in Xihe will be blessed there along with the two hundred tribes who stand out.

......

"The hour has come, the ceremony begins!"

The next day, at 10 o'clock. Without waiting for Ye Li, who came from afar, to visit the Holy Land and experience the prosperity and customs of the Holy Land, the triennial blessing ceremony presided over by the archbishop bell began.

However, the so-called blessing ceremony has only been around for more than 20 years. It is mainly because the church wants to show its prestige so that believers can be in awe of it.

Therefore, the pomp and circumstance of the ceremony was very grand, except for the archbishop's bell and the seven hundred people who stood out from the two places. The leader of the Holy Land, Tam will also lead the Templars and Warriors who remain in the Holy Land to watch the ceremony.

Because a huge sacrifice will be held in the middle to thank the great true god, that is, Liang Tian.

Therefore, early in the morning, the central square of the Holy Land was full of people. They were all residents of the Holy Land who came to see the bustle. After all, this kind of ceremony is only held once every three years, which is much rarer than the New Year's Festival.

It's just that the square is crowded with people, but in the more core near Liang Tian's body, it is still very idle.

The tribe's heavily armed warriors guarded the gates to the more central areas, and ordinary inhabitants and believers could not enter at all. Because of this, even the first people who came to stand at the front of the square, they couldn't see it at all, let alone know what the blessing ceremony of the witch Lin was.

So why are there so many people still watching the excitement?

But it is because of the procession after the sacrifice and blessing of the waiting. This was accessible to the inhabitants of the Holy Land, especially the grand sacrifice of six oxen.

The sacrifice will be carried out on a tall altar, which will be visible to everyone in the square. That's why the inhabitants of the holy land flock to it, and thousands of people empty the alleys.

So much so that Xiqi, who is a member of the royal family, couldn't help but be a little nervous at this time. Receiving God's blessing from the Archbishop of the Servant of God felt that this was the most important thing in his life. So at this moment, his palms were full of sweat.

But fortunately, he wasn't the only one who was nervous. He was nervous, as were others who were just as much to be blessed as he was. Even the more than 200 people from the tribe were no exception.

Therefore, even if time passes at the usual speed, these people can't help but feel that time passes so slowly at this time. Therefore, when the archbishop's bell in full costume finally appeared in front of people, all those who wanted to receive the blessing, including Xizaki, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"The sacrificial ceremony begins, and the required sacrifices are presented!"

"The ceremony begins, and the offerings !!"

On weekdays, the black quartz, who has always stood beside the bell, roared, and this triennial blessing ceremony is about to begin. For a while, even the residents of the square couldn't help but quiet down......
