044 Blessing of the Goddess
For this year's Jane Ruth Feast, the Blessing Ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. in Atlanta Park, with the King leading the prayers, the sacrifice and the final blessing for children under the age of 18 with little red flowers at 8 p.m.
Atlanta Park is located on a large expansive site adjacent to the sea, with three entrances including the pier.
The main entrance of the park faces the sea, and you only need to look into the distance to enjoy the orange sunset over the sea.
The park was already crowded, and Xing Yulie and Isabella led a child into the venue with one hand, and the family wore platinum parent-child clothes. The sea breeze blows the hem of their clothes, but it can't blow away the warm atmosphere of the family.
In the middle of the entire park, the altar of blessings has already been cleared of snow from the ground, revealing the retro stone slabs on the ground.
In the center of the circular altar is the statue of the goddess Jane Ruth, and on all sides stand four stone statues of mermaids of different shapes, lifelike mermaids with holy expressions, as if they are really looking at the people of the empire.
At six o'clock in the evening, the seabirds also fall, and the blessing ceremony of Goddess Jane Ruth's Day officially begins.
The king walked up to the altar in full view, and the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes was in high spirits and looked lovingly at his people.
He raised his hands and explained last year's results. The live balls around float up and down, carrying his New Year's greetings to every corner of the empire.
After the blessing is over, the priest takes the stage. The old woman in her 100s is still tall.
She held an ancient wooden cane, stepped on the soles of her feet in a mysterious sacrificial dance, and sang an ancient and obscure sacrificial song in her mouth.
In an instant, the mermaid stone statue seemed to be plated with a layer of silver light, the sea water in the entire park glowed with blue fluorescence, and dolphins murmured in the deep sea in the distance, whales sprayed water, and fish rejoiced.
Everything became dreamy.
Xingcheng participated in the Empire's blessing ceremony for the first time, and she looked at the scene in front of her obsessively, and the world was reflected in her light gray eyes.
After a long time, the old priest put down his tent, and everything slowly returned to peace.
She spoke to everyone in the audience with full of energy: "Next, please ask the children to come up to the stage to receive the blessings of the goddess." ”
It's finally time for blessings!
Mr. and Mrs. Xingyulie sent the Xingcheng siblings to the children's queue, "Go to the queue, don't be nervous, Mom and Dad will always be watching you." ”
"Good!"
At the entrance, Xia Zhuxing and Yin Yue had been waiting for a long time.
Xia Zhuxing jumped up and waved: "We are here!" ”
The four of them have agreed to receive blessings together.
One by one, the children walked up to the altar, and the old priest took the trouble to ask for their names and talk to them.
"Next."
Yin Yue nudged and reminded: "Xia Zhuxing, it's your turn!" ”
"Ah, good!"
Xia Zhuxing woke up suddenly and walked onto the stage with his hands and feet.
The folds on the old priest's face were clumped, but his eyes were surprisingly bright: "What is your name, please?" ”
"My name is Xia Zhuxing!"
"Okay Xia Zhuxing, now, reverently take the right hand of the goddess."
Goddess Jane Ruth spread her hands out, which is a gesture of giving.
Xia Zhuxing stretched out his hand ignorantly, and the old priest put his left hand on the goddess.
In the next second, the idol lit up with blue light, and the small red flower on Xia Zhuxing's body grew blue stamens.
"Xia Chaxing, the goddess blesses you with wisdom."
Xia Zhuxing bowed deeply to the priest and the goddess: "Thank you, goddess!" Thank you, Priest! ”
"Go kid, next!"
……
"My name is Yin Yue!"
"Yin Yue, the goddess blesses you to realize what you want."
……
"My name is Xingshu!"
"Xingshu, the goddess blesses you to be calm and calm."
……
"My name is Star Orange!"
Xingcheng took the goddess's hand nervously and excitedly.
Suddenly, the red light flashed, and red stamens grew on the small red flowers.
But before it was over, after the red light faded, a beam of white light sprinkled again, and the little red flower turned into a small white flower.
The old driver was also startled for a moment, and looked at Xingcheng carefully. At this moment, the little girl on the stage also became holy.
Xingcheng blinked, she seemed to be different from others?
When the light dissipated, the old priest kindly rubbed Xingcheng's little head: "Xingcheng, what a good name, it seems that the stars are small, but in fact the starry sky is vast. ”
"The Goddess praises you for your kindness, and she wants you to be brave and defy any difficulties and dangers that lie ahead."
Xingcheng's eyes were inexplicably moist, and she looked at the idol stupidly: "Goddess... It really exists..."
"Believe, the Goddess is beside you." The old priest smiled mysteriously, "You are the first child in a hundred years to be praised by her for kindness." ”
Xingcheng's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly bowed reverently and thanked him: "Thank you, goddess, thank you, Lord Priest!" ”
