There were twenty or thirty fewer Golden Lantern Lux people, and the ones in the back mountain were even more collectively missing, and the Golden Lantern Master who was in charge of personnel was big for a while after hearing this.

Due to the noble status of the master, each golden lamp master can order any golden lantern wrestler to do things at will, Liangzhou Mansion is at war again, personnel changes are busy, and there are constantly golden lamp wrestlers who are killed by the five major families hired by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, this steward master is difficult to figure out what happened to these people in a short period of time, so he simply pressed it for the time being: "Today, the Holy Mother is going to preside over the lantern worship ceremony in person, it is very important, everything else is a trivial matter!" ”

He went to the front mountain to catch strong men and found more than a dozen golden lantern wrestlers to take care of the "sheepfold", as long as the sheep were still there, the sacrifice could be carried out, and the missing golden lamp wrestlers were not a problem.

The lantern worship ceremony begins in the morning, the golden lamp is placed on the top of the altar as early as the first night, and it is an eight-treasure lotus lamp, and from the time of the child, the light becomes stronger and stronger, and it burns to the highest at noon the next day.

The ritual officially began, and a total of twelve Seven Treasure Golden Lantern Archmages sat in two rows, kneeling down with devout devotees.

First of all, the chief guru preached the teachings, led everyone to sing the "Doomsday Golden Lamp Leads to the Song of Redemption", and after singing, the spell was cast at the same time, and in the center condensed into a golden lotus flower with large wheels, which started from the top of the altar, one next to the other, forming a "sky bridge", and quickly bloomed thousands of flowers, one end on the altar, and the other end connected to the dark night sky.

The Chief Guru shouted, "Our Lady of the Golden Lamp, please!" ”

A beautiful woman in a white gauze dress appeared from the night, she held a clean bottle, stepped on the golden lotus flower with her smooth bare feet, jumped in the air, and the lotus flowers rose lightly, fluttering and soaring, like a heavenly maiden!

The Lady of the Golden Lantern landed on the largest stone lotus throne in front of the altar, she was in her early twenties, her body was plump, her skin was white and tender, and her veils shone brightly, and the golden light emanated from the pores of her body, forming a circle of light around her body.

According to the record of the Third Sutra of Karma and Debt Repayment, Our Lady of the Golden Lantern is the closest existence to the light, serving the leader of the Golden Lamp, assisting the leader, spreading light to the whole world with love and compassion, and benefiting all beings who yearn for light.

Believers knelt down and clasped their hands, looking at the "goddess" in the golden light, many believers couldn't help but have a sour nose and burst into tears, some of them experienced the suffering of life, some remembered the sins they had done, and some felt the light and warmth, or fear, or remorse, or moved, and kowtowed hard like a game, and it was not enough to show their sincerity!

The first lama opened his voice and led everyone to sing the "Hymn to Our Lady": "Our Lady, Our Lady, the golden light of Pudu, illuminates my body, solemn pure land...... Our Lady of God, Mother of All Things, Purest and Most Loved, and All Living Beings ......"

As the devotees chanted louder and louder, the lights on the altar grew stronger and brighter, illuminating the top of the mountain as bright as day.

The believers wept and sang as they closed their eyes and looked up at the golden lamp, feeling the light that the light brought through their eyelids, as if the whole world was brightened, the darkness was dispelled, evil was destroyed, and suffering was destroyed......

The scene is becoming more and more solemn and holy!

After singing the praises of Our Lady, the Lady of the Golden Lamp spoke, quoted a few teachings, and praised everyone for giving up the darkness and turning to the light: "You are the happiest people in the Three Realms, and the end times are coming, and darkness is like a boiling soup of poison, pouring into your mouths and noses, drowning your bodies, and cooking your souls...... None of the beings in the Three Realms will be redeemed, but you, because you have light in your hearts, will be led to the realm of bliss full of light......"

Next, there is a formal lantern worship ceremony, in which the golden lantern wrestlers take out thirty-six snow-white lambs from the "sheepfold".

Today's lambs are different from the situation in the past when they were sacrificed, one by one bleating, kicking and shaking their heads, very uncooperative.

Some people questioned it, but the Golden Lantern Master in charge took the initiative to explain the matter: "The shepherd's wrestlers have been transferred to Liangcheng to deal with those sinners who blaspheme the light, and now these are transferred from other places, and they are not familiar with this process, so we can't blame them." ”

Now that the Virgin Mary has come, everyone is better than one thing less, since the lamb is still there, it can be successfully sacrificed and worshipped, and there is no need to grow branches.

The lamb was brought to the altar, where it was seized one by one by four golden lamp wrestlers, pierced into the heart with a sharp knife, drained the blood, and then disemboweled, and entrailed. The head of the sheep is cut off and hung on the two pillars of light on the platform, and then the sheepskin is peeled off, and the Golden Lantern Master announces the reward to the believer who has made the most meritorious service to the religion in the past year, and finally puts the mutton into four cauldrons and boils.

The sheep were trembling with fear, and they struggled and screamed.

The Seven Treasure Masters sitting on both sides frowned, according to the process, these lambs had been fasting since two days ago, only feeding water, and not even giving water after noon the day before the ceremony, which had never happened in the past.

But no one spoke, the Virgin of the Golden Lamp at the top sat on her knees, surrounded by golden light, her eyes closed, as if she had seen nothing, he did not speak, and others did not dare to speak casually.

All 36 sheep were slaughtered, and the mutton was cooked in a large cauldron, which was taken out by the wrestlers and cut into small pieces, and distributed to the believers.

Believing that eating this meat would strengthen the muscles and bones, prolong life, and cure all kinds of diseases and poisons, the devout believers knelt on the ground on their knees, raised their hands and put the large bowl they had brought from home on top of their heads, waiting for the wrestlers to come and give them meat.

Liang Xingyang hid in the dense forest on the north side, and waited until all the sheep had been killed before he started, and the target was the Holy Mother of the Golden Lamp who closed his eyes and meditated.

The light of the Pure Yang Immortal Sword pierced the night sky, brighter than the divine lamp on top of the altar!

The Holy Mother of the Golden Lantern suddenly opened her eyes, and the sleeves of her body flew out, meeting the sword light like a spiritual snake.

The set of gauze clothes she wears is a treasure, the two sleeves are called Liuhui Water Sleeves, which can be lengthened, and can cover several acres of land when unfolded, and can wrap around the lock to take the enemy's magic weapon, resist all kinds of attacks such as hidden weapons, poisonous Gu, evil smoke, and flying sand, and can also directly capture and seal evil and evil ghosts.

The water sleeve flew out, dancing in a spiral in the air, covering the sword light inside, and suddenly locking inward, trying to entangle the flying sword.

However, Liang Xingyang's Pure Yang Immortal Sword was extraordinarily iron-comparable, he pinched the trick and pointed at the air, crossed a mouthful of True Yuan, and the essence on the sword flashed, white as a blade, cutting the gauze sleeves wrapped around it into pieces of broken yarn!

The sword momentum did not stop, and continued to stab at the Holy Mother of the Golden Lamp, the Holy Mother of the Golden Lantern saw that the water sleeves were destroyed, Xiumei wrinkled, knotted the lotus seal, and gave birth to a huge golden light lotus out of thin air, holding the fairy sword, she looked at the place where Liang Xingyang was standing and asked, "Who is it?" ”
