Following the flow of worshippers, they slowly came to the capital of the Aotian gods, and faced two tall statues of the gods of Aotian, standing on the left and right sides of the city gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, it looks like it is just a statue of two human emperors sitting on the throne, I don't know how many craftsmen carved it with the hands of many craftsmen, and it is quite majestic, so that people who pass under the city gate have a feeling of being pressed to the ground.

The Holy Knights are on both sides of the gate, and pilgrims can enter through the main entrance, while non-pilgrims can only enter through the side gate under the statue's throne.

Both pilgrims and non-pilgrims were quite numerous, and it took several hours for Shaanna to queue to get into the city.

The buildings in the castle are all white marble, and the residential and commercial buildings are very low, all of which are limited to two floors.

The most striking thing in the city is the massive church, with the twelve tall towers that surround the church and are distributed according to the time zone.

The church is huge because it's really tall and covers a very large area.

It is more than a hundred meters high, covered with gray-black rock exterior walls, is a regular twelve-sided body, covering an area of tens of millions of square meters, if there is no mountain peaks around Ao Tiansheng to block it, its existence can be seen several kilometers away.

Pilgrims poured in the direction of the church from all directions, and Shaanna followed the flow of people slowly.

I entered the city at noon, and at about six o'clock in the afternoon, I finally walked to the square in front of the church.

The square in front of the church is very wide, the edge of the square is four or five hundred meters away from the church, and it surrounds the church, which can accommodate millions of people to perform pilgrimage services in the square at the same time.

The square's densely packed tents and oil lamps for lighting the square surround the entire cathedral like the Milky Way in the sky.

Shaanna saw that there were too many people, so she wandered around the outskirts of the square.

After a while, the entire square was lit up, and the light came from the huge magic crystal lamps on top of the twelve towers.

Then the huge bells on the twelve towers are runged, which is the prayer bell at seven o'clock in the evening, and after the bell rings, the people in the square fall to their knees and begin to worship in the direction of the setting sun.

The sound of millions of people worshipping and chanting at the same time resounded throughout the city, and the prestige spread all over the city, making people's hearts surging and excited.

Several non-pilgrims around Shaanna were infected by this momentum, and they all learned to bow down and join the procession of reciting scriptures.

Seeing this, Shaanna suddenly remembered the legal requirements of the Utten God Sect, and hurriedly crouched down so that she could stay here with the pilgrims.

The entire pilgrimage lasted nearly half an hour, and when the magic crystal lamps of the twelve towers were extinguished, the crowd in the square stood up one after another, but most of them continued to kneel on the ground and chant scriptures.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, Shaanna stood up and slowly moved deeper into the square with the crowd, wanting to get a closer look at the tall church.

After a slow journey of nearly an hour, Shaanna came to the bottom of the church, where she found a ten-meter-wide river between the church and the square, with a total of twelve stone bridges leading to the twelve church gates.

Each stone bridge is guarded by a team of thirty paladins, and now the church is closed to the general public, so Shaanna can only look inside the church from the bridge.

Since it was night, the interior of the church was dark and dark, except for a few oil lamps that illuminated the paladins.

On the way, Shaanna learned that the church will be opened during the sacrifice ceremony, and ordinary people will enter the church to worship and pray to the gods.

However, not all people can walk in front of the idol, only those who are approved by the gods can go to the idol, and others will be kept away from the idol by the protection of the idol.

The ceremony will be held in three days, and the whole ceremony will last all night for a month, so that the people of the Quartet will come to pray for blessings, so Shaanna is not in a hurry.

It took her nearly an hour to leave the square, and she found an inn in the city where there were still available beds.

A bed costs ten silver coins a day, and this bed is only one of the six beds in a dozen square rooms, and the accommodation environment is really not good, but after all, it is always good not to have to sleep on the street.

Due to the congestion in the city, Shaanna did not leave the hotel during the day for the next few days, and food was available, so she meditated on her bed.

Time passed quickly, and on the day of the blessing ceremony, there were more people in the city than three days ago, and there was no place to stay on the streets.

Like other pilgrims, Shaanna put on the hood of her clothes and walked slowly towards the church with her head down.

The crowd would stop and bow down every three steps, and every nine steps would prostrate on all fours, and the pace of progress became quite slow.

It was not easy for Shaanna to stand in such a procession, and when the pilgrims knelt and prostrate to worship, she squatted down and waited until everyone had finished worshipping and stood up with her.

The inn was close to the city walls, but far from the church, and it took Shaanna a day and a night to follow the pilgrims to the square.

When I walked to the square, it was already early in the morning, and the pilgrims who had been worshipping all night were not tired, and they were still energetic and walked to the church.

The number of people entering the church was strictly controlled, and ten people came out of one door at a time, so it took Shaanna a morning to walk from the square to the door of the church.

Walking through the dimly lit passage at the entrance of the church, Shaana's eyes lit up, and when she saw the situation inside the church, she opened her eyes wide and greedily admired the beauty that seemed to be a world away.

Inside the church is a trapezoidal garden with neat and beautiful trees and flowers, and many birds and beasts are constantly shuttling among the trees and flowers.

Hidden among the beautiful trees are a number of small squares with a stone statue in the middle, and the squares are connected by stone paths.

The dome of this church is hollowed out, and a huge beam of sunlight gently shines on the highest square of the garden, which is the statue of the god King Okuten.

There were already many people in the church, and there was a group of priests in red in the highest square chanting in a low voice, and four paladins were in order in the passages next to each square, and then the others were pilgrims.

The walls of the church are surrounded by a number of small platforms that protrude neatly and protrudingly, and those platforms overlook all the views of the church, on which people stand from time to time to read the teachings, and although only a few dozen people are reading, the sound resounding throughout the church.

Shaanna followed the procession of pilgrims into the small squares of the garden, and as legend has it said, the pilgrims could not get close to the idol and had to worship at a distance from it.

But Shaanna found that she was not hindered in any way, and walked to the idol with such a swagger.

Her performance was the envy of the pilgrims around her, and they all bowed down excitedly, not only to the idol, but also to Shaanna.

But the paladins who maintained order in the passage of the square did not bow down, they just looked sideways in surprise, and then continued to maintain their order.

This is still a relatively low square, the gods represented by the idols are still relatively low, and Shaanna's performance is only beyond that of ordinary pilgrims.

However, the more Shaanna passed through the square, the more attention people in the church paid to her, and finally she came to the Goddess of Light Square under the Otenjin King's Square.

When she walked up to the statue of the goddess of light and touched it, a vision occurred, and a large beam of holy white light enveloped the entire statue, enveloping Shaanna in it.

In the holy light, Shaanna slowly floated up, like a god descending from heaven, extremely holy and awe-inspiring.

The vision attracted the attention of everyone in the church, and soon some pilgrims reacted and hurriedly prostrate on the ground to worship Shaanna in the light of the pilgrimage.

The paladins who maintained order also knelt down on one knee when they saw this, as if a god had really descended.

And the red-clothed priests in the highest square also stopped chanting, looked at each other to confirm that they were not dazzled, and knelt down one after another.

Everyone kept chanting: "Welcome to the goddess of the heavenly light!
