On the day of the purification ceremony, from four o'clock in the morning, the lights in various parts of the divine domain gradually turned on, like stars, and the entire divine domain was lit up in advance at the half-dark dawn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

People get up early to bathe and change their clothes, and first wash the filth from their bodies, so that they can receive divine light and purify their minds during the purification ceremony.

Just after five o'clock, the streets were empty.

Everyone was smiling, dressed in new clothes, or driving or riding to the Wanshen Mountain. Because there are too many people moving at the same time, it even paralyzes street traffic and jams people for a while.

Because they had an agreement with Qianying, they trained until midnight last night and didn't go back to rest until midnight. And this morning, I got up at four o'clock and was seriously sleep-deprived.

On the way to the destination with the regimental car, several people dozed off almost the whole time, and their spirits were quite sluggish. Even if the people outside the car window were shouting, they couldn't arouse their interest.

Upon reaching the foot of the Pantheon, the legions and the common people formed in a pre-allocated area to await the arrival of the High Priest, the Holy Division, and the Hallows in a predetermined area.

Maintaining order on the scene and escorting the Sacred Weapons were the responsibility of the Fifth Legion, which was in charge of law and order, and the personnel of the other legions were only spectators and to prevent accidents.

When they came to the destination, Duan and the others lined up with the group and stood at the entrance of the mountain road.

Although there was a sea of people in all directions, it was not too noisy, and everyone tried to speak in the lowest volume as much as possible, for fear of desecrating the holy place.

At this time, the fish belly has appeared white in the east, but the sunrise has not been seen. The lights at the foot of the mountain were not bright enough, so the masses spontaneously turned on the car lights to fill the light, and thousands of car lights were turned on one after another, and the surroundings were illuminated as bright as day in a short time.

"Ahh "October didn't wait long before he started complaining.

"Hold on a little bit. Xixia, who was standing in front of her, turned around and whispered.

The judge next to him also said: "You are too impatient, of course such an important ceremony should show everyone's piety by waiting." ”

"I'm religious, but I'd love to watch it early and sneak back to catch up on sleep. You don't have to go to the regimental headquarters today, do you?"

Duan immediately poured cold water on her: "I could have gotten not going, but the deputy head of the regiment said that yesterday's training time was not enough, and I will continue to make up for it today." ”

"What? Chikage's inhuman fellow, we're so tired and have to go back to training, she's abusive. ”

October was even more unhappy, although the Holy Artifact Purification was important, but she was really a little lacking in energy today, and she could only stand here stunned with freshness, curiosity, and a bit of awe.

"This is the consequence of laziness, and all choices must come at a price at the same time as they are beneficial. "Educate her in a thoughtful way.

She only rolled her eyes disappreciatively, and then leaned on Xixia's shoulder and took a nap by herself. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a cheer all around me in a daze.

"Coming, coming, the Holy Priest and the Priest are coming. ”

Before Xixia could call her, she was awakened by the voice, rubbed her eyes and looked in the direction facing the crowd, only to see a convoy coming towards her in the midst of the crowd.

There was no distinction between the black chariots carrying the priest and the high priest.

The cheerers and shouters were basically ordinary people, and the legionnaires stood upright and upright, without squinting, and no matter how excited they were, they did not dare to shout and talk at will.

The convoy did not stop at the foot of the mountain, but drove straight into the mountain and quickly headed to the top of the mountain.

Sending off the convoy of the Holy Division, the talents under the mountain got into the car and drove up the mountain. Although there is not room for so many people on the top of the mountain, everyone still wants to get as close as possible, and maybe they will be lucky enough to see miracles.

The people guarding the legion did not prevent the people from going up the mountain at the moment, as long as they kept a safe distance from the convoy of the Holy Division, which was what Keichaga meant.

As a result, there was soon a continuous queue of vehicles on the mountain road, with the top echelons of the Divine Domain at the forefront, followed by the five major legions, and finally the ordinary people.

The convoy arrived at the top of the mountain just as the sun jumped over the horizon, and the sun was closely related to the sacred covenant, the holy artifact of light, so the purification ritual began at sunrise.

At this time, the most important people in the Divine Domain were all concentrated on the edge of Lake Gnimos, the people of the five legions were around the lake, and the other people were crowded on the periphery in the three layers inside, and the order was not chaotic.

The high priest and Keichaga stood together and said a few words, and Keichaga raised his hand to Takatsuka Kagami behind him and asked her to start preparing.

Takatsuka immediately walked out of the crowd and walked to the edge of the lake alone, and then immediately urged his divine power to fly to the middle of the lake.

Once her body was parked above the lake, she removed the round mirror with a diameter of about 50 centimeters behind her back, and then let it spin and slowly fall.

Takatsuka, on the other hand, crossed his arms and went down to control the mirror with his own power, making it grow in size as it fell, and by the time the round mirror fell to the surface of the lake, it had expanded tenfold.

As soon as the mirror touches the lake, the edge of the water sets off waves two or three meters high. The waves of water turn under the action of the mirror, gradually forming a whirlpool.

This continued for about three minutes, when suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound under the lake.

The sound was thunderous and earth-shattering, like the angry roar of a sleeping beast after being woken up, and everyone present was shocked for a moment without preparation.

The roar was followed by a continuous vibration, and the waves around the mirror became more and more turbulent, tumbling upwards and leaps, finally forming a majestic circular hanging waterfall.

The waterfall pours down from a height of more than ten meters, the sound of the flying stream is turbulent, and the snow is hazy and misty, as if it comes from the nine heavens.

Looking at this scene in October, I vaguely felt that it was a bit like the S-level trick of the water system - the Waterfall of the Nine Heavens.

The others stared at the waterfall in amazement, and soon saw a large expanse of cyan beneath it, and the west-facing half of the water receding.

Only then did everyone see that the cyan was a flat cyan cobblestone, which was slowly emerging from the water under the waterfall, and the fiery red sun pattern in the center of the bluestone loomed in the water.

The stone emerges from the water and flies upwards until halfway up the waterfall.

By this time, the current had decreased considerably, leaving only a curtain of water like a thin curtain, and the surface of the lake had calmed down.

"Altar. ”

Someone was so excited that he accidentally shouted out, and then various cries and discussions rang out.

He asked, "Is that big stone an altar?" ”

October nodded and replied, "Well, I've seen it in books." But there should be a lot of steps and stone pillars, why don't you see them?"

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a heavy and powerful "doo" sound. The two of them searched for prestige, only to find that the west side of the altar was forming the steps that October had spoken.

Each step is a large platform that extends step by step to the shore. I quietly counted it, and there were seventy-two steps.

After the steps were formed, two tall columns were raised on each step.

Twelve identical stone pillars also rose at the same time on the side of the altar, and a thin pillar rose in the center where there was a sunburst in the center.

The thin pillar, about half a man's height, opened at the top in the shape of a round basin, from which small jets of water spurted, the purest holy water, were used to cleanse the holy vessels.

After the altar was prepared, Takatsuka immediately took the mirror and returned to Keichaga's side.
