Chapter 490: The Rite of the Holy Maiden (3)
In the Qiansheng Country Square, there was a crowd of people, all of whom were dressed in gray or white.
They surrounded the large square, looked at the altar placed in the middle, and couldn't help but talk to each other in low voices. At this moment, no one dared to speak loudly, they were all worried that they would be too loud and disturb the altar, and if it affected the altar's selection of saints, it would be a big crime.
At this moment, several sounds came, which attracted the attention of the common people. They all turned around one after another, only to see a group of black-clothed people appearing in everyone's eyes.
They were neatly arranged, holding a sharp weapon in their hands, and were walking in the direction of the main square, their eyes were just cold, and they passed by these people without squinting, as if the sky was falling, and they were unmoved.
And when those ordinary people saw the man in black appear, they all bowed their voices, and there was also a trace of respect in their eyes when they looked at the man in black.
These men in black were knights of the Thousand Holy Kingdoms, and they were dressed in light black clothes, and on their heads they wore a hood of the same color as their robes, and the long cords hung down and spread out on both sides of their ears. The hair was meticulously combed and buried in the hood, revealing only one face. The sharp blades in their hands also show their identity that is different from that of ordinary people.
The people of the Thousand Holy Kingdom know that these knights were born of the Thousand Holy Kingdom. The safety of their Thousand Holy Kingdoms is all guarded by these knights. If it were for them, there would be no peace for their people. Therefore, for these knights, the common people are respectful from the heart.
Every year in the Thousand Holy Countries, there will be a day for knight selection, and even ordinary people can participate. If you can succeed in becoming a knight of a thousand holy kingdoms, it is something that everyone is proud of. For these ordinary people, being able to become knights means that they can defend the Thousand Holy Countries, and their status is already different from ordinary people.
In the future, if you want to achieve a higher status and become a knight of the Thousand Holy Kingdom, this is essential.
In the Thousand Holy Realms, the hierarchy is very strict. Every position is progressive, gradually rising, and there is never a saying that it can be achieved overnight. Therefore, if ordinary people want to change their fate, change their lives, and strive to become a good knight, it is their only way out.
It is precisely because of this that when they see the knights appear, those ordinary people will be so quiet, and their eyes will also carry respect and expectation. Naturally, they hope that their children, or whoever they are, will be able to embark on such a path in the future.
After the knights surrounded the large square, they were followed by people who were dressed in darker colors than the knights. They are monks of the Thousand Holy Kingdom, one level higher than the knights, responsible for carrying out the affairs of the Thousand Holy Kingdom, large and small, and sharing worries for the cause of the Thousand Holy Kingdom.
And behind the monk is the grandmaster of the Thousand Holy Kingdoms. They were in charge of the knights and monks, and directly obeyed the elders of the Temple. Knights and monks, on the other hand, obey these masters directly. All the instructions were also conveyed to them by the Grandmaster to ensure that the affairs of the Thousand Holy Kingdoms could be carried out smoothly and orderly.
These grandmasters also wore hats, but their hats were different from those of knights and grandmasters, they were taller, and the color of their clothes was darker than that of them.
When those ordinary people saw the Grandmaster appear, their eyes couldn't help but be a little excited. The appearance of the Grandmaster means that several elders of the temple are about to appear. On weekdays, they didn't even have a chance to meet a few elders. I heard that several elders of the temple have put a lot of effort into the development and growth of the Thousand Holy Kingdoms. Moreover, their status is so high that it is not easily accessible to ordinary people like them.
It is also a blessing to be fortunate to be able to see it today.
After the grandmasters all stood in the main square, Saint Bai and Saint Mo, still dressed in black, slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The two of them were in front, followed by Holy Blue, Holy Blue and Holy Purple.
As soon as several elders appeared, the ordinary people present could no longer hold back and let out cheers. They also shouted the names of several elders loudly.
"Oh my God, it's the legendary Saint-White-"
"And Lord Shengmo!"
"I finally saw it, the only woman among the elders: Lord Shenglan, when I saw it today, it really lived up to its name, Lord Shenglan was so beautiful!"
"And Lord Sacred Blue and Lord Saint Purple ......"
"I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet a few elders today, I simply died without regrets!"
"Isn't it, on weekdays, where is the opportunity to meet five elders at once, it's just a dream!"
The common people all looked at the elders who came slowly with eager and excited eyes.
Sheng Bai and Sheng Mo looked at the ordinary people who were screaming and cheering for them, and they still had calm expressions. Obviously, they have long been accustomed to the enthusiasm and praise of these ordinary people. After all, every time the Holy Maiden ceremonies, they would experience such a thing, so they felt that it was nothing more.
And Sheng Qing and Sheng Lan, although they have joined the temple for a few years, they are not as calm as Lord Sheng Bai and Lord Sheng Mo, they still enjoy these toutings very much.
Therefore, when the common people screamed and shouted their names, Sheng Qing and Sheng Lan, with a shallow smile, waved at them slightly. Although today's elders are all dressed in black clothes like usual, their faces are exposed to the eyes of the common people. Even if it is not the whole picture, the thin black veil covering the face is enough for the common people to see it very really.
When Sheng Lan heard those ordinary people boasting about her beauty, she couldn't help but have a trace of pride in her eyes. Although she rarely appears in the eyes of the world on weekdays, she is only dressed in black and veiled in the temple. But she is still full of confidence in her appearance.
In the Thousand Holy Realms, even if she doesn't dare to claim to be the most beautiful, she is definitely one of the best. Otherwise, she would not have gone to the selection ceremony of the saint woman candidate. It's a pity that her bloodline can't meet the requirements of the Lord, and she almost became a candidate for sainthood at the beginning, but in the end she became an elder of the temple by mistake.
And you know, the temple has not had a few female elders over the years. Therefore, if Shenglan hadn't become a Temple Elder in the first place, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been so willing to do so easily.
After all, Shenglan's family is not bad, she is also a very good woman, in the eyes of everyone, the position of the saint should be hers. Unexpectedly, things in the world are always so unpredictable.
But being able to become an elder of the temple is already a very lucky thing for Holy Blue.
It's just that for this saintess who came out of nowhere, Shenglan said that it was a little difficult to accept for a while. After all, she doesn't seem to have any background at all, and I'm afraid it's far worse than her own family. I don't know how she looks, and I don't even know where Lord Shengbai got her from.
But since the Lord has approved of this matter, even if Shenglan's heart is dissatisfied, she is not qualified to say anything. Could it be that she still dares to question the Lord's decision? Naturally, she didn't dare.
Today, Sheng Lan is naturally very curious about these women who are about to become saints. Today, she can know what kind of person this woman is.
Several elders came to the center of the main square in the blink of an eye.
On the opposite side of the altar, five delicate chairs have been placed, and above the five chairs, there is a main seat, and next to it is a secondary seat.
Several elders took their seats in turn.
Those ordinary people watched the elders sit down, and then looked at the main and secondary positions, and they all knew very well in their hearts that these two positions, one must be the main one, and the other must be the holy woman.
Next, it's time for the saint to appear, right?
Soon after several elders took their seats, dozens of black slender figures also appeared on the road leading to the palace. These women in light black gauze skirts are all waitresses of the Thousand Holy Kingdom.
The waitresses walked in front, followed by several women in dark black dresses and black gauzes, who leaned against a black palanquin, surrounded the palanquin, and slowly walked towards the main square. These women were shrine maidens of the Temple, and their status was higher than that of the maids. On weekdays, he is mainly responsible for some daily affairs in the Holy Virgin Temple.
When those ordinary people saw these fair women appear, their eyes were also dyed with a trace of excitement. The saint must be in that black palanquin. The black sedan car is not completely sealed, and half of the car door is covered by a light transparent black veil. I could vaguely see one of the women in a pure black dress sitting in it, her black veil hanging down long, making it impossible to see her face.
But this still can't stop the people's doubts and curiosity about her.
Sheng Lan looked at those ordinary people who stretched their necks one after another, looking in the direction of the holy woman, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
If her blood is pure enough, then the person sitting in the sedan chair at this time should be her, where is this woman who doesn't know where to come out of nowhere.
And Sheng Qing watched the appearance of the Holy Maiden, and glanced at Sheng Bai next to him without a trace. However, Lord Shengbai had never seen any scenes, he just sat in his seat indifferently, and also looked at the scene in front of him, without any special expression.
Sheng Qing took his eyes back, and sure enough, people like Lord Sheng Bai were not something they could see through.
Let's take a look at the ceremony of the Holy Maiden, what will happen.
The sedan chair of the saint was settled in front of the altar, and everyone waited for the sedan to get down from the sedan chair and see its beauty. But unexpectedly, for a long time after the sedan chair landed, the saint did not make the slightest movement and sat firmly on her sedan chair.
Sheng Lan looked at this holy woman and couldn't help frowning.
"What's going onβ"
"Lord! It was the Lord who appeared! Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an excited voice.
The voice drew everyone's eyes to him, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
Sure enough, on the avenue, a black sedan chair appeared. The palanquin echoes the color of the sedan chair of the saint in front, but it looks much more solemn and solemn than the sedan chair of the saint.
And from the front, you can't see the scene inside the car.
But seeing the knights walking over with the sedan chair around them, everyone knew that the person in front of them must be the one they were looking forward to seeing, their lord.
That is, the legendary - the children of the Temple.
