Chapter 17: Worship the Goddess
As soon as Asroya saw Keya's eyes, she immediately looked down, and sure enough, she saw that her pepper milk was half dewed, and Chunguang was discharged. Although this was not the first time he had seen this place, although Keya was still a child in her mind. But the shy surname Tian still made her withdraw her hand in a panic and come back to cover her clothes, and said with a red face: "What are you looking at? little pervert!"
Although Keya's surname is simple, he seems to understand the affairs of men and women. But he also knows that there are certain places about a woman that men can't see. In the past, Asloya asked him to see that he had no choice but to do it as a last resort. Koya knows this. Keya now respects Teacher Asroya like a god, and there is not the slightest evil thought in his heart. Hearing the teacher scolding him for being a little pervert, he whispered a little aggrievedly: "Teacher, I'm ...... I'm just happy for you!"
In fact, as soon as Asroya scolded, she regretted it in her heart. In the past few months with Keya, she has long understood that Keya is a simple and kind big boy, and he has never had those flowery hearts. Seeing that Keya had been wronged, she stroked his head again with some embarrassment, and said, "Okay, okay, the teacher knows that you don't mean anything else." Just now it was just a woman's natural reaction, don't take it to heart, ah? The teacher's injury was completely healed two months ago, and you don't have to worry about it in your heart. Now that your swordsmanship has made a qualitative leap, then concentrate and realize the teacher's expectations for you as soon as possible, okay?"
Keya nodded and said, "Well, then teacher, you can rest, I'll go and practice the sword for a while!"
Asroya smiled, "Okay, let's go, but don't practice too late, remember to go to bed early!"
"Great!" said Keya laughed and got up to leave. When he first entered the realm of swordsmen, he was really excited, how could he sleep quietly? This night, he continued to carry the purple fighting qi to practice the sword, feeling and mastering the changes brought about by the entering of the fighting qi.
Asloya, on the other hand, blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed silently thinking about her thoughts: "O Fire, this kid is making faster progress than you." I remember that it took you a whole year to cultivate to the level of a beginner swordsman, and it only took more than seven months for this kid to learn swords so late. Now when I see him, I always think of you, and alas, Philia, have you thought of me in heaven as much as I miss you?"
The next day, the Imperial Sacrifice God said. The devout followers of the Holy Goddess in Yanjing all got up early and spontaneously walked to the Holy Goddess Hall to worship and pray. Koya also got up early, and he had an appointment with Judy today to go to the goddess and visit the royal family's worship ceremony.
The Archbishop's Altar of the Imperial Holy Goddess Church is located in the east of Yanjing Skanya City, and is the only majestic building in Yanjing that can compete with the Imperial Palace. Among them, the goddess hall is 50 meters high and 200 meters wide, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people to worship collectively at the same time. Before Keya reached the main hall of the goddess, he saw that the square in front of the temple was already crowded with people waiting in line to enter the temple to worship.
Walking to the front of the temple, you can already hear the beautiful and beautiful song of praise to the goddess from the church choir coming from the main hall. Above the main hall, a sacred and pure white light faintly radiated.
Ke Ya couldn't help but feel the heart of worship, he was groomed, his expression was serious, facing the goddess hall, closing his eyes to convey his respect and piety.
"Koya, you're here early?" came Judy's beautiful voice behind him. Keya opened his eyes and looked back, and said with a smile: "Well, I'm praising the goddess!"
Today, Judy deliberately wore a set of purple ladies' dresses, with purple hair and purple clothes, looking grand and dignified. She walked up to Koya and smiled at him, then faced the hall and closed her eyes in praise of the goddess. After a while, she opened her eyes, took Keya's hand and said, "Let's go, let's wait in line." Otherwise, you won't have time to visit the royal family's worship ceremony. ”
Koya nodded, and went with Judy to the back of the crowd. Although there are many people waiting to pay homage, tens of thousands of people can visit the shrine at a time, but it is still their turn very quickly. Koya and Judy walked into the main hall, where the light was shining and the singing was singing. In the vast and huge hall, the black press was full of devout believers. When I raised my head, the statue of the goddess, which was about 30 meters high, was still smiling. Although it is a spar statue, she is still so sacred and pure. And her beauty makes everyone dare not look at it directly.
Keya has seen the stone statue of the goddess since he was a child, and he didn't understand it when he was a child, but he could see the face of the stone statue clearly. In his little heart, he only felt that this stone sister was so beautiful that it made people's hearts stop beating. When he grew up, he, like everyone else, did not dare to blaspheme the gods of the goddess.
People don't know if the stone statue of the goddess is the true appearance of the goddess, anyway, in the hearts of the goddess cultists, the god should be like that.
Carved more than 500 years ago, this statue of the goddess was the work of Master Wimbledon, the most famous and talented carver of the Palashan Empire before the Ponsin Empire. It is said to be based on the description of the goddess by the seventh generation of the goddess spokesperson of the Church of the Goddess, the great sage Shanla.
In the present Empire, the Great Sage of the Church of the Goddess is even more authoritative than the Emperor. Because she directly represents the goddess, because the whole country of the Pangxin Empire is a devout goddess.
As soon as Koya and Judy entered the main hall, they immediately knelt down in one place. Prayer is performed according to the worship ceremony. Above the main hall, there are hundreds of white-robed mages of the church, holding holy bottles, walking among the crowds. From time to time, olive branches and leaves are sprinkled, and the holy water in the bottle is poured on the people, giving them the blessings of the goddess.
The ceremony was solemn and solemn! After Koya finished praying, he touched his forehead to the ground, ready to rise with three touches. As soon as he looked up, he suddenly saw a man walking up to him and kneeling, closing his eyes and praying. This person's red hair is scattered and very conspicuous. Keya couldn't help but turn his head and look at it, and couldn't help but be surprised. This...... Isn't this his nemesis, Anne;
Anne apparently didn't see Koya, still praying with her eyes closed. Although Ke Ya was surprised, thinking that this was a female temple, even if she had the courage to mess around here, wouldn't she dare to mess around here?
He didn't care about her for the moment, continued to touch three times, then stood up and whispered to Judy, "Let's go!" Judy obviously saw Anne too, but she was in the temple and didn't dare to say anything. Seeing Koya stand up, she poked in Annie's direction and motioned to Keya to see who the person next to her was.
Keya understood in his heart, nodded his head, and reached out to push Judy out of the goddess hall. At this moment, the royal family has not yet arrived, but many people have already flocked to the altar behind the main hall, waiting to watch the annual goddess descend.
Keya and Judy followed the flow of people, bypassed the main hall, and came to the vast and boundless altar of worship. The majestic and tall altar in the middle is more than ten meters above the ground, and the stairs carved from cubic crystal are covered with pure white carpets. The carpet stretches from the altar to the temple of the goddess, stretching for hundreds of meters.
On the altar, there were dozens of white-robed saints with beautiful bodies making preparations. The area around the shrine was already crowded with tens of thousands of parishioners, and a steady stream of parishioners were pouring here.
Koya and Judy chose a good vantage point and waited quietly for the ceremony to begin. Judy took Koya's hand and held it, as if she was afraid that if she was not careful, the two of them would be swept apart. Koya didn't care, just smiled, remembering when his father took him to visit the worship ceremony when he was a child.
The number of people grew, and in a short time, the number of people who came to see the festival exceeded 100,000, and countless more flocked to the area. It was almost noon and the ceremony was about to begin.
At this time, the crowd on Keya's right surged, and then a silver-haired young man pushed away the crowd and squeezed over, and turned back and said, "Annie, this place is a little empty, and the location is good, let's take a look here?"
Keya heard this voice very familiar, and turned his head to look, only to see that this person was none other than Annie's henchman Alec. Now that he's here, Anne must be here too?
Sure enough, Alec followed Anne and her other butt-bastard, the dark-haired teenager Theron, who also separated from the crowd and walked over. Since Koya was standing in the best position, Alec didn't look at it, and reached out to push Koya's shoulder, shouting softly, "Get out of the way!"
But at this moment, Koya is no longer the Koya of half a year ago, and he saw that Alec was still so domineering and domineering at the main altar of the Sacred Goddess Church, and he was already angry in his heart. Seeing him stretch out his hand and push it, he was silent and fighting at the moment, and the soles of his feet took root. Alec's push didn't make him move a bit.
Alec immediately sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sighed and withdrew his hand back. When I looked closely, I couldn't help but be taken aback, and thought to myself, isn't this the pariah, Françoise, Why...... I just sensed a fighting force in him?
Keya immediately said in a deep voice: "This is a sacred and holy place, you are here to push, push, and disturb the order, are you not afraid of the goddess to sin?"
Alec's face changed, and he shouted, "What do you say, bold pariah, you are also worthy of mentioning the goddess?"
Judy, who was beside Keya, immediately leaned out and said sternly, "Alec, who do you say is a pariah?
Alec suddenly saw Judy, and immediately opened his mouth wide and was speechless. Judy's family can be said to be in power in the empire, but it is not something that he, a child of a small nobleman, can afford to provoke. And Judy standing with this Keya also surprised him.
By this time, Anne had already crowded to Alec's side, and her eyes were first on Judy and Keya's hand. He snorted coldly in his nose and said, "Alec, this is the general altar of the church, don't be as unruly as everyone else." Don't worry, don't hear me. ”
Alec couldn't mess with Judy, so he wished that Anne would say so, so he immediately said "yes" and retreated behind Anne. Judy didn't agree, and said to Anne: "Who has no rules? You are pushing and shoving here, bullying civilians, and you are embarrassed to say that we have no rules?"
An snorted coldly again, and said: "I'm a nobleman, what's wrong with bullying commoners? No matter how we do, we won't surrender our identities and hook up with commoners." Holding hands with civilians in public, you can really afford to lose this person!"
Judy was furious, and couldn't help but go over and grab Anne to have a good "theory". Keya hurriedly dragged her back, and said in a low voice: "Judy, don't be impulsive, if you make trouble here, you will be condemned by the goddess." ”
Judy said angrily: "But she deceives people too much, and if she doesn't teach her a lesson, I can't swallow this breath!"
Keya had no choice but to persuade him and said, "Judy, it's not suitable here. If you want to teach her a lesson, there will be opportunities in the future, so let's be patient and obedient today, ah?"
Judy only listened to Keya's words during this time. Although Wen Yan was reluctant, he had no choice but to glare at Anne fiercely, and said hatefully: "Don't be complacent, sooner or later you will look good!"
Anne sneered and said, "Yo, how obedient is it? The daughter of the dignified Imperial Inspector actually obediently listens to the orders of a commoner, what a strange news!"
Although Koya didn't want to cause trouble, Annie's nasty face made him angry. Holding down Judy, who was about to have a seizure, turned to Anne and shouted, "Miss Anne, please keep your mouth clean! Holy goddess above, are you not afraid of being punished by the goddess?"
Anne's face changed, and she was about to sneer at her. Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then someone shouted at the entrance of the shrine: "Stand out!
Then another group of heavily armored cavalry drove in, quickly forming a formation in two formations at the entrance. In a short time, thousands of palace guards rushed in unison, quickly separating the people on both sides of the altar from the carpet in the middle.
More than 100,000 people suddenly fell silent, only to hear a rumbling convoy not far away, slowly approaching here. Only a moment later, the convoy appeared at the entrance. First, a white steed passed through two rows of heavily armored cavalry. Immediately, one person with blond hair and golden armor was majestic! The two rows of cavalry immediately saluted in unison, and their movements were neat and uniform, and they appeared to be very well-trained! As soon as the white horse rushed into the field, the man in golden armor immediately pulled the reins of his horse, and the white horse of the divine horse immediately hissed, and the man stood up. The front leg kicked in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
But the man on the horse did not move at all, as if he did not feel the shock at all. His lightning-like gaze swept back and forth in the field, and with a wave of his hand, he shook off the white cloak that had been swept in front of him by the wind. The cloak was swept away by him, and it was straightened straight behind him, making a crisp and loud "pop" sound, and the sound suddenly shook the audience!
Such a momentum! Such a might! Of course, this person is the strongest person in the empire, the great general who commands the soldiers and horses of the whole empire, the sword saint Buck;
Keya only felt a stream of blood boiling in his body, and seeing a figure he had revered since he was a child made him almost unable to suppress his excitement! Judy beside him sighed and said softly: "When will the people of my generation who have learned swords reach the realm of Uncle Salmondo?"
General Buck had dismounted at this moment, and the huge convoy of the royal family, protected by countless palace guards, rumbled in. On the altar of the sacrificial gods, the high-pitched singing of the saints suddenly sounded, and dozens of young saintesses walked down the spar steps in two rows.
The convoy stopped, and a golden carriage at the front was lifted by General Barker, and Emperor Pierre VI and Empress Irina emerged at the same time.
The hundreds of thousands of imperial subjects in the audience immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Pierre VI was about fifty years old, with a delicate face and high spirits. He took Empress Irina's hand and waved his arms in greeting his subjects as he walked down the white carpet towards the altar.
The convoy behind was made up of royal children and civil and military officials, and after coming out, they came out with Pierre VI and came to the altar. Judy knelt on the ground, looked up slightly, and suddenly smiled softly at Keya: "Look, the one in blue is my father." ”
Ke Ya also quietly looked up, there were several people in blue clothes among the hundred officials, and he didn't know who was Judy's father. But he saw Diana, walking side by side with a girl in white who was about the same age as her, and had an incomparably noble temperament.
The saints stood on the left and right sides of the spar, and in the sound of heavenly singing, a white-robed woman smiled and slowly descended from the altar to greet the emperor and his empress. Rao was honored as the emperor of Pierre VI, and when he saw this white-robed woman, he also bent down at the same time as the empress to pay respect. The other royal children and civil and military officials all knelt down in front of the white-robed woman.
The white-robed woman smiled and walked up to the emperor and empress, and put her hands on top of their heads. Suddenly two holy lights were emitted, extremely bright!
Keya knew that the white-robed woman was the spokesperson of the goddess, the twenty-second great saint of the Holy Goddess Church, Vera! It was only the last time Keya visited the worship ceremony was five years ago. At that time, the Great Sage Maiden Weila was only a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Now that Keya saw her, he couldn't help but feel a wild beat in his heart, thinking: It turns out that there is such a beautiful woman in the world!
