At noon, Si Hongkuo came and walked out with the three people who pretended to be goddesses, saying that the sacrifice was about to begin.

Near the bell tower, there have been waiting for a number of floats, these are specially made flying magic weapons, although the level is not high, but the appearance is gorgeous, carrying the Nuwa sacrifice people suspended in the air, when driving up, there are auspicious clouds at the tail of the car, quite pleasing to the eye.

It was only when the Heavenly Soldiers, Lei Gongdian and others got on the float one after another, that Huo Nindong walked on the largest and most gorgeous float accompanied by the two little junior sisters of the divine envoy.

Huo Rendong was cold and calm on the surface, but he was actually quite nervous in his heart. The goddess's heavenly clothes are complex and wide, and there are all kinds of accessories on her body, from collars, necklaces, shawls, belts, forbidden steps, ......

She had to lift the hem of her skirt high to prevent it from stepping on it, and she had to pay attention to her balance when she got into the car......

Fortunately, the road was safe, and in the exclamation of the surrounding crowd of onlookers, they successfully got into the car.

The generalissimo of the heavenly soldiers and generals shouted highly, and all the floats rose from the ground, floated into the air, and headed towards the top of the bell tower.

The bronze bell tower is the center of Bai Yujing, and it has been built for an unknown number of years. There is a layer of sacrificial platform at the top, the decoration is simple, it is two people high, it is square, the eaves are carved with various kinds of auspicious clouds of the beast totem, and there is a huge bronze tripod in the center, majestic and solemn.

Huo Rongdong stood on the tallest float and looked down on Bai Yujing and everyone from a high position.

She had never seen this bustling fairy city from this angle, and as far as the eye could see, the streets and alleys, but everywhere she could stand, were full of people.

Regardless of their cultivation, men and women, young and old, all of them were dressed in colorful clothes and carried all kinds of ornaments and food. Everyone rubbed shoulders, and the eyes were full of brilliant colors, and Bai Yujing was woven into a huge colorful carpet because of a sacrifice.

This year, the Tianxiang Peak Qiushui Zhenjun, who was in charge of the sacrificial ceremony, stood up on the auspicious clouds, and she used a little spiritual energy, and her voice recited the prayer clearly and loudly.

With a gentle and solemn voice, the quaint and heavy bell rang one after another, and everyone listened quietly.

The floats parade on the street are divided into fifteen in total, except for the two generalissimo cars at the beginning, which are the largest and most gorgeous goddess cars in the center, followed by all the heavenly soldiers and generals.

The floats of the heavenly soldiers are relatively simple, with seven-colored ribbons wrapped around the wheels, fluttering in the wind. And the float that Huo Nindong rode was much more gorgeous,

Not only are the ruts and wheels painted with gold paint, but the car is also full of fairy flowers and grass, and you can smell the fragrance when you drive by.

The four pillars of the float are also hung with pearl yarn, which reflects the silk-like luster with the sunlight. Once it flies fast, the float will also make a drum sound, which is really a fairy trick.

Huo Rongdong is a goddess actor, so she naturally stands at the forefront, and her vision is also the most open and clear.

However, even so, in the face of the people in the whole city, it was difficult for her to find Qi Ci in the crowd.

And everyone's eyes were mainly on her, being stared at by so many people, Huo Rendong was also quite embarrassed, she didn't dare to look around, she could only stand straight with a straight face.

With the recitation of Qiushui Zhenjun's prayer, the Nuwa Festival officially began. Fifteen floats started slowly, accompanied by auspicious clouds, and began to circle around the bronze bell tower, and then slowly drove to the east.

*

Today's Bai Yujing defaults to the fact that no one is allowed to fly.

Qi Ci also stood in the crowd.

The old monsters of the Tianyan Sect were not interested in coming out to join in the fun with ordinary people, so standing next to him was Huo Rongdong's master Yun Qian, surrounded by disciples of various branches, because of the noble status of the Tianyan Sect, they could also carve out a relatively spacious realm in the extremely crowded streets.

When he looked up, he could accurately find Huo Rendong's location, and his gaze could fall on her in an unconscious instant.

And she looked ahead, motionless, only half of her face was exposed, and she was holding the grace of a goddess.

Everyone could see that there was a gust of wind. The pearl veils on the float were rolled up, and the gods made the streamers that fell from their waists fly.

The wind also blew the tassels on the crown of Huo Nurturing's head, and the delicate bells made a crisp crashing sound.

The sound of bells staggered, which seemed so insignificant in the midst of the crowd, but it still reached Qi Ci's ears.

He saw that the tiny braids on her shoulders were lifted by the wind, revealing a neck as white and slender as a swan. The small earlobes are adorned with delicate crescent earrings, swaying gently in the breeze, as if the moon has fallen from the sky and entered my arms......

She lowered her apricot eyes slightly, pursed her red lips, and all her movements were so natural and seductive.

The pearl veil wrapped around the roof of the float couldn't hide any sunlight, and when the fine light fell on Huo Nindong's body, those ornaments and golden crowns were instantly lit up, as if they were flashing with light—burning Qi Ci's eyes.

No matter how slow the float flew in the air, it was getting farther and farther away, until Huo Rendong's figure was covered by the crowd and could no longer be seen, and Qi Ci withdrew his gaze.

The crowd next to the bell tower was still immersed in amazement, and the voices of the disciples of each branch came from the side. People always like to talk about pretty girls.

"You said that there have been so many fairies in the past generations, which one is better looking as a goddess?"

"It's been Wang Peiling for five or six years before......"

"I remember that the year before last, it was Senior Sister Pei of Luze, and I was dressed in red and my eyes lit up."

didn't hear the name he wanted to hear, Qi Ci looked at them strangely, and his tone was light: "What is there to compare this?" ”

As soon as he spoke, all the disciples felt cold behind their backs, and they lowered their heads one after another.

Yunqian Zhenjun came over good-naturedly: "Please ask Uncle Shi to teach ......"

Qi Ci said without hesitation: "Isn't honeysuckle the best-looking." ”

Although it is a question sentence, the tone is not questioning at all.

Hearing him say this, the disciples next to him, you look at me, I look at you, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Shi's eyes are like torches!"

"Senior Sister Huo is really good-looking, I'm stunned."

"It's much better looking than Senior Sister Peiling in previous years!"

Qi Ci snorted from his nose and didn't speak again.

Now that the float had already passed, the next step was to circle the four major towns, and he didn't bother to crowd in the crowd anymore, so he quickly left the bell tower.

*

The Nuwa festival commemorates the goddess Nuwa, who opened the world and created people out of earth, and it only began to be less boring when the float procession left Baiyujing and entered the four major towns.

Bai Yujing is full of monks, and there are many mortals in the town.

Even in the villages not too far away, when the villagers heard that the annual festival of 'sowing the rain' had arrived, they would drag their families to the outskirts of the nearest town and wait to see the float procession.

Their participation in the sacrifice is not all about watching the excitement, but really wanting to pray for the gospel and receive blessings.

Zhang Daniu from Shanshui Village came this year with his whole family on a cart. He is now the breadwinner of the family, and after his father's death, he not only farms and gathers, but also takes care of his younger siblings and his lame mother.

Although his family is poor, Zhang Daniu does not feel bitter at all.

The fields are barren, but they can provide enough food for the whole family for a year. The younger brother and sister are sensible and obedient, the mother is loving, and their family is happy.

Therefore, when he heard that the immortal master held a blessing and sacrifice event, Zhang Daniu felt that he had nothing to ask for, and he didn't want to waste time.

But he couldn't resist his mother's toughness, so he could only take a temporary break from farm work, put on a cart, and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads with his family, and walked to the nearest Lingchun Town to watch the festival.

Bai Yujing has four major towns: Lingchun, Qiushui, Taoxia, and Xindong.

The town is inhabited by immortal masters, and those immortal cultivators think very highly of themselves and will not let ordinary people enter the town.

Therefore, the villagers, who have traveled far to join in the fun, often have to stay in the suburbs outside the city, eating dry food, drinking rainwater, and sleeping in the wilderness, waiting for the day when the float will come to them.

Zhang Daniu didn't know when those immortals came, he "snapped" to kill a mosquito staring at his arm, and then looked at the surrounding villagers with vegetables, only felt that no one was more pious than himself.

After living in the woods for five days in a row, they were just ordinary villagers, who didn't know what day the Nuwa Festival was, and they didn't dare to miss it, so they just endured the harsh environment and waited day by day.

Not even a single old man in his seventies or eighties complained, and Zhang Daniu didn't talk much. He took out an apple that had been a little dry for a long time from his arms and stuffed it into his mother's hand: "Mother, eat some fruit." ”

Mother Wang nodded, took a bite of the apple, and chewed it carefully in her mouth before swallowing.

Zhang Daniu fed the little brother and sister with water again, and then took out a coarse grain dry cake and prepared himself to eat his stomach.

He opened his mouth wide and didn't bite down, when he suddenly heard a hoarse exclamation not far away:

"The immortals are coming——!"

When the words fell, everyone moved up at the same time, the lying ones got up, and the sitting ones knelt down.

"Bang la-la" Wu Yang knelt together.

Zhang Daniu only had time to stuff the coarse cake into his arms, and he also reflexively followed the crowd to kneel on the ground.

Aroma.

That was his first feeling.

The scent of flowers wafting in the wind calms people's hearts, and then there is a spontaneous throbbing and longing, and mortals want to look up at the immortals.

Then there was the sound of the heavenly soldiers and generals like a bell, accompanied by solemn and heavy drum music, as if the dark sky was pressed down.

"Solemn—"

"Silence—"

"Greetings to the blessing of the goddess—"

The surrounding villagers all bowed their heads low, and the mother even put her forehead on the ground, folded her hands and chanted a word, praying for the safety of the whole family.

No one dared to look up, fearing that their actions would be regarded as disrespectful by the gods, and there would be no chance to bless.

Zhang Daniu was bold among the mortals who were prostrate on the ground, he raised his head and looked at each other quietly, only to feel shocked in his heart.

He really hated that he didn't read much and couldn't say any beautiful words.

The goddess standing in the float was smiling, her face was sunken, and her expression was sympathetic to everyone.

Zhang Daniu didn't know if the Nuwa his mother said was like this, but he was sure that the person in front of him must be a fairy!

When the light of God spreads and the sun shines, darkness and evil will not come.

She stands in the gods, among the flowers, in the falling lights and shadows, she is the goddess's agent in the world.

The goddess condescended and saw the ragged and suffering people, so she took out a fairy branch from the flowers, dipped it in the fairy rain, and spread the blessings to the people on the earth.

Zhang Daniu's eyes widened, and he tried to raise his head.

The goddess seemed to have just waved the fairy branch lightly, but the people kneeling on the ground all felt a cool rain drifting on their faces.

The rain fell on his face, and he seemed to be extremely happy.

They breathe deeply, feel the mystical experience.

What Huo Honeysuckle sprinkled was not really the 'Heavenly Realm Rain', but actually the spiritual spring in the mountain behind the Tianyan Sect.

Although the spring water cannot live for a long time, it also has the effect of driving away evil spirits and diseases, and strengthening the body, which can be regarded as the welfare of Nuwa's sacrifice to ordinary people.
