Chapter 1157: God and Their Children

The surrender of the gods is a historic event for the world realm governed by the Star Domain Protoss, but it is also a normal situation that people know better. Because of the existence of the true gods, and the close relationship between the true gods and the worldly realm and mortals, it is not uncommon for those governing gods to appear in front of mortals in the Star Domain Territory and even help the latter solve their troubles. It's just that for the lifespan of most mortals, there are really not many opportunities to meet the gods in person, and the noble status of the gods themselves will lead to a lively and grand event every time a god descends. This was a real headache for the Governing Gods, because for mortals, it may only be once in a few hundred years, and they felt that a grand celebration was needed to commemorate such a historic moment, but for the gods in the Star Field, who had no concept of time......

It's only been a while since the last time it came/It looks like I've been to this world just now/Why is it that the last festival ceremony just ended and now it's started again/Don't they feel bored when they celebrate once......

The above is a true portrayal of the inner life of the gods: in their eyes, the concept of time is seriously disconnected from mortals with a limited lifespan......

Therefore, when they came out of the temple, both Elson and Monina looked a little helpless, but when they saw the believers waiting outside, they still put on a faint smile and waved to the priests on both sides of the road.

A group of us pretended to be priests and followed behind, smiling evilly at the brother and sister in front of us, who had to greet the believers with a compassionate gesture of helping the world: it was really difficult for them to let these two cheating father + black-bellied brothers and sisters stage this kind of drama.

Ray, Eva, and Pope Mu, these three are the closest to God. Only they are allowed to go directly behind God, and behind us is to follow. I was keenly aware that the three men walking between the Ilson siblings and us were stiff and walking like zombies: a sign of nervousness. Can you not be nervous, the divine descent was enough to make them excited, and now they are followed by a group of "gods". I could only let Sandora comfort them a little bit, and prevent two of the old men from having a heart attack and being summoned by the Lord - but to be honest, I don't think Ray and Mu are physically fit to have a heart attack. The old man Pope is still a macho man who can run all the way from the Fourth Ring Road to the city center.

And among our group, a few of the smaller ones were like the adults, wearing the smaller clergy uniforms. Bouncing along with the team (Pandora is the most peaceful of them) and making a burst of giggling and hopping sounds from time to time. These little guys, who have a lot of movement and belong to the Lori stage no matter how they look at it, attract the attention second only to the gods in front of them parading the streets, and the believers on both sides of the road who are allowed to look at the divine light are crowded. A third of them couldn't help but fall on this group of little girls, probably no one could have imagined why such a group of unruly children would follow the team - it is estimated that Lei and Old Man Mu will be busy after going back.

"I say, do you need to dress slimes too?"

I glanced back and couldn't help but whisper to the shallow beside me.

Mixed with the little girls, there was also a figure that was also very striking, not because of how much she moved, but because she didn't seem to be human at all: it was a jelly creature in a priest's robe, and despite the appearance of a little girl—a mimicking of a little crow—it was transparent, like a water bag, and even swayed when she walked, as if the liquid inside was about to burst out. This is the Arcane Pee that has recently become a toy for the children in the house. Its intelligence is only as high as that of a self-disciplined machine, and under the toss of a group of bear children, it has now become another bear child according to its simplest "imprint learning" mode. This slime walked behind the wheel in a priest's robe, and waved frequently to the crowd around him in the appearance of a few of his little masters, and every time he turned his head, he could cause an exclamation: The people in this world have probably never seen a jelly that can walk upright.

"It's fun. It's fun. ”

The shallow answer was not what I expected, and I could only sigh helplessly when I heard this reason.

Standing on both sides of the road to greet the gods were ascetics, who, despite the urgency of the procession, were laying the "path of holiness" in strict accordance with religious rites. Dressed in dark gray linen robes, ascetics held a broad broadleaf in their hands and spread it on the path that the gods were about to embark on. And when the procession has passed, the trampled leaves are collected by the ascetics and placed in a large basket. The destination of the procession was the main square in the center of the parish, which was half a kilometer long, and I thought that the leaves they had laid down along the way would be enough to set up a bonfire at the stake...... Anyway, why did I suddenly think of such a curious thing?

At the back of the ascetic procession were women in gray-and-white robes, holding in their hands a very shallow plate containing a clear liquid, which, judging by the faint aroma wafting from it, was some kind of alcoholic beverage.

Well, it's really a strange religious ceremony, because I have never studied anything related in depth, and none of these ritual scenes I see can be understood, but I just think it's very lively.

Fortunately, however, I had someone around me, and Lynn saw that I was confused, and immediately happily explained: "These rituals have been passed down from a long time ago. The broad-leaved leaves were the first leaves of the 'Elogar' tree, and the people of the Blue Star believed that the tree was divine, and their trunks were the pillars of the bridge between the divine realm and the mortal world, so the devotees used these broad-leaved leaves to pave the path that the gods had walked, to symbolize the sacredness of the journey of the gods from the divine realm to the mortal world. These leaves are collected after they have been used and used to light a bonfire on the first night of the descent: the local mortals believe that the smoke rising from the burning leaves of the 'Elogar' tree can reach the heavens to report to the gods that the gods have arrived safely. In addition, the wine that is served in a shallow dish is made with 'Morolo', more than 800 years ago, the planet was hit by famine and plague at the level of the world, and the catastrophe of human extinction almost occurred. Brother Ilson brought down a hundred Morolo seeds from the captain's garden and let them ripen every minute, and the disaster was quickly resolved, and from then on the believers would offer the wine brewed by Morolo to the gods, and when the gods descended, they would bring up the wine that had been aged for many years, in order to report to the gods the riches of this world. In fact, there are many theories about the activities of believers nowadays, but it is troublesome to explain them one by one......"

"Oh. Oh, enough is enough, it's interesting. I smiled at Lynn. I just thought that the scene in front of me was very lively, but I really didn't expect that there would be so many sayings - there are many stories in every world.

"Ahh It's a good idea to commemorate it, but it's a big deal to respond to such a festival frequently," Bingdis muttered as he walked behind me, "Actually, in the beginning, we didn't prescribe any ritual dogma to believers other than the Bible, but in the end, they would organize their own strange activities, which made people laugh and cry. ”

"Ahem...... Lilina couldn't help coughing: This Pope is estimated to be a standout in the eyes of the Star Domain Protoss who are all over the place.

"That being said, you don't seem to ignore these activities, do you?" I turned my head to look at Bingtis, "Look at Ilson and Monina. Now the expression on his face is quite happy. ”

Bingtis shrugged: "There is no way, many mortal races who believe in the Star Domain God Race have grown up under the watchful eyes of their respective gods, and even many races have been created by their own gods, so for us, these believers are really like children - you can imagine." He created an intelligent race from nothing, and then watched them walk upright for the first time, learn to make tools for the first time, have their own writing and culture for the first time, watch them gradually develop religious worship and values, and then put what they think is "good" on the altar in ignorance but with great anticipation. I just want to make you happy - you can't bear to turn around and leave? ”

Speaking of the most, Bingdis added: "Therefore, we never respond to prayers that are simply for our own selfish desires to ask for blessings, and even simply punish them by God: they are bad children and need to be educated." ”

Naturally, it was difficult for me to have a personal experience of what Bing Tis said, but it was understandable as long as I thought about it, so I nodded busily. At this time, the long stretch of the road had finally come to an end, and the walls of ascetics and nuns on both sides of the road came to an abrupt end in front of a granite dividing line, about half a meter wide, and beyond that was the main square of the parish - in fact, the square was only my understanding, I did not know what the purpose of this place was the road, and in the center of it was a large open space, surrounded on three sides by high stands, and on our side was an open entrance. It makes it look a bit like an arena again.

Surrounded by believers, siblings Ilson and Monina walked towards the tallest and most ornate stand in the middle, and I tugged at Lynn's arm, "What is this place for?" ”

"Ceremony," the dragon god girl said very seriously, "There is a set of ritual rituals handed down from ancient times, in fact, it is the process of letting all believers come to the gods in batches to pay homage to the gods, and at the same time offer tribute, and if the gods have something to say directly to the believers, it will also be announced at this time, well, it is equivalent to a star meeting plus a press conference and the National Agricultural Trade and Craft Commodities Expo......"

I looked at the dragon god girl steadily, and said in my heart when did this girl Lin speak so exquisitely.

I understand what she said, no matter how often the gods think they come, to mortals, it is still a rare thing that is rare to see in a hundred years (correct), and finally the gods descend once, and the believers in the vicinity of nature have to come over to pay their respects at all costs, so they simply hold a super-large-scale celebrity meeting for the gods and mortals to meet directly. This is unimaginable in the world of those who believe in false gods or simply have no gods to believe in (meaning that there are no actual gods to believe), and only the gods of the star field, who are happy to be with their "children" and are happy to provide some help within their ability and will not affect the development of each other's civilization, so there will be such gatherings in which the gods themselves participate.

"Oh, the rally, the rally," as soon as he heard that there was a lot of excitement to join, the first one jumped out, "Is it interesting?" ”

Lin looked at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees, and said with some trouble: "Actually, it's quite boring, sitting on it for hours without moving, and only when you receive the tribute at the end of the day is it a little interesting: every once in a while, the children will make a lot of new and interesting gadgets." It's fun whether it's useful or not. Ah, my castle is still piled with the wood carvings they gave me more than 700 years ago, and they were very popular at that time, so they made the largest set for the gods, and then I wanted a set, but unfortunately the wood carving trend in this world has passed—the interest of mortals is really short-lived. ”

Me: "......" always felt that the gods of the star field were the least qualified to say such things.

Lynn thinks it's boring, and that's because she says it every time she stands in the same position as the onlookers. Now that we're standing in disguise from the perspective of the crowd of onlookers, it's so chatty - watching Monina and Ilson, who are usually laughing and laughing, have to sit on the "god seat" with their faces down and make a look, and secretly squeeze their eyes with us. Why do I feel so good in my heart?

The rally to welcome the gods is also a grand celebration and entertainment for most of the participants, and apart from the solemn ceremony in the middle of the square, people in the surrounding area can actually enjoy themselves in their own way (it is said that Jingle Bell was the rule of the year). As long as it does not violate the doctrine, any entertainment is allowed, and after the divine decree, the parish will be open to the common people as a sign of God's love for mortals. This is one of the few cases where the strict rules of the church are fully lifted, and in the next day or two, such celebrations will soon spread to the whole world, and every church shrine in the world will organize various celebrations, people will gather in front of the gods to express their joy, and at the same time, they can also receive the blessings of the gods that have never been seen before: depending on the gods who come on that day, the blessings will be different. But basically, there are great benefits.

And in this process, the daily thing that the gods who descended to the mortal world did was to come out and accept the onlookers of all the people, and watch the others revel, just like watching the bear children mess around with their own hearts but not be able to participate in it......

The bears who came with them had all run away except for Pandora, and even the slime was nowhere to be found. It seems that they won't come back until they have a meal, and Qianqian pulled her sister and Lin Xue to run to see all kinds of interesting tricks by the artists outside the square. The various artists of this world believe that showing their skills in front of the gods can be blessed and improve their craft, and at the same time, these tricks are also performed for the gods, but they cannot be placed in front of the sacred shrine in a grand manner. So it had to be done outside the square: what an awkward rule you say, and I saw from a distance the expression on Monina's face as if she had a nail in her ass......

And in the process, Sandora never forgot to search everything in her sight that seemed to be edible, well, I mean, she never forgot to search everything in her sight.

A large family really came with the mentality of tourism.

As for me? I wasn't interested in those talent shows, so it was cool to watch 123 and his sister roll their eyes in the stands when they were bored.

Of course, there are also things that are slightly more enjoyable to see happening in places where believers gather, such as ...... All sorts of divine punishments.

Clankbell ran out of the city! Jingle Bell is stealing drinks from people for charity sale! Jingle is stealing fruit from someone else's stall! Clank Bell has been discovered! Clank Bell is being hunted! Clank Bell has completed a five-kill kill! Clank Bell is gone again! God knows when and where there will be chain lightning again!

"It was a huge mistake to let that little thing come out." I covered my head and couldn't bear to see a group of unlucky people who had been "punished by God" standing up trembling all over, inexplicably speechless. The divine punishment they suffered was actually more like a joke made by Jingle Bell, but the cramps all over the party were inevitable, and it seemed that they would soon be able to harvest a three-inch ding that took the initiative to become a jingle ball, and that little thing was really a scourge wherever it went.

"Anyway, none of these believers recognize the goddess of life?" Bingtis looked at Lynn and Kense, "Clank is the only one of you who isn't disguised, right?" ”

"No way, the current believers don't know how old Captain Lu Dao is," Lin stuck out her tongue, "It is impossible for the Bible to specifically annotate 'the goddess of life is twelve centimeters tall', right?" You don't associate a trickster, who is the size of a palm and steals food everywhere, with the goddess of life. ”

Me: "...... Also. ”

The day passed so lively, what was it, the first day of reunion between God and their children after a long absence. But fortunately, 123 still didn't forget the business, and I didn't forget that the members of the Fifth Fleet were still hanging in the depths of space, so the next day, we sent people all over the universe to search for a foreign object that Lin Xue saw in the mirage.

By the way, the next day 123 and Monina herself were still to be presented in the square, and they had to send their own servants out of the city to do the work.

The good news is that since this world is the world of 123 management, there is a complete management system of the world of the world (well, it is also pirated, and the Ding Dong team is all pirated, but the management system used by 123 at least knows that the road is upgraded and patched in time), and it is not so difficult for us to search for "foreign objects", plus with the help of divine servants who are familiar with the environment of this universe, the search work went smoothly, and it only took one day to roughly determine the "foreign body" according to the system log of the system in the world of the world Where to appear.

It's only three light-years away from the Azure Star. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
