Chapter 169: Pioneering, Initiation
In the early morning of this day, the morning wind of late autumn blew through Rongcheng, and a cool feeling from the eastern plains made the people on the streets of Rongcheng can't help but tighten their necklines.
But it can't close the warm hearts of people.
For as early as yesterday evening, people in various places have received news one after another, asking them to spare their time in the morning the next day to prepare for an important ceremony in the Governor's Palace.
Generally speaking, Han Guming rarely does such high-profile things, and many major strategic decisions, he only explained them to a few subordinates who needed to know directly in his own small room. He didn't like meetings, and he didn't like to speak in public. Although he was the Governor of the Divided Territory, he knew how to keep a low profile better than most of the local officials directly under the Golden Deer Hall.
So for the people of Rongcheng, it is rare to see such a high-profile performance by the governor for many years, and then it is rare to have the opportunity to watch the play for half a day, why not?
So from the early morning, the morning shops all over the city are busy, and the flavors and delicacies from five states and hundreds of countries, along with the people walking along the street, flow to all corners of the city like a small stream, nourishing more than 20 million people in the city, supporting the hustle and bustle of the old capital to symbolize the prosperity of civilization, and then contributing more colors to the tea table of the onlookers at the beginning of the ceremony.
By 10 a.m., all the noise had fallen silent.
Whether consciously or unconsciously, the Governor's Palace in the sky was shining brightly, and when it competed with the autumn sun, the people all fell silent.
At the same time, in the courtyard of Shifu, several tenants also got together rarely, and set up a large tea table under the shade of the housekeeper tree, and Wang Luo served each tenant a fragrant instant tea.
Objectively speaking, this move flattered the tenants, at this time Wang Luo was not an unknown person when he first came down the mountain, and the name of the lord of Lingshan Mountain was heard of by people far away from Zhuwang, not to mention in the land of Longxing on Stone Street...... But on the other hand, half of Wang Luo's local fame comes from his approachability.
No matter how dazzling the aura on his body is, he is always the tenant of Shifu who will smile at everyone and go to work on Xiangshan Road in the middle of the night.
"Alright, the ceremony is about to begin." With Wang Luo's reminder, the people at the tea table also let go of their worries and shifted their attention to the air.
Through the courtyard wall of the stone mansion and the shade of the trees overhead, one can clearly see a translucent phantom standing in the air. And similar phantoms are evenly distributed to every corner of the Furry City...... Any Rongcheng person, no matter where they are, as long as they are willing to raise their head, they can see their beloved governor Han Guming.
And today's Han Guming also lived up to expectations, once again put on an ancient costume, and his demeanor was more dignified and solemn than when he greeted Mo Yu, so the slightly rickety and thin body also showed a majestic temperament.
For a while, even the locals of Shijie, who had never had a good word for the magnates in Shangcheng, couldn't help but feel a sense of surrender and admiration.
Then, a purple figure slowly appeared, she was tall, dignified, and there was a faint sense of oppression between her hands and feet, facing Han Guming head-on, and she did not fall behind at all.
It was Mo Yu, the head of the Internal Affairs Office of the Golden Deer Hall.
However, even the chief of Ouchi was only a foil at today's ceremony. She and Han Guming only glanced at each other, then quietly walked to his side and lowered their heads slightly.
Finally, a third person appeared.
It was a golden shadow, and it was evident that the man's deity was not present, but only a projection was cast from a distance; However, even if it was just a phant, it was enough for Mo Yu and Han Guming to put on a posture of submission without hesitation.
In today's Immortal Alliance, only one person can have this status and prestige.
I wish the lord of the country, the deer is yoyo.
The appearance of Lu Youyou caused a panic in an instant, people thought that the protagonist of today's ceremony would be Han Guming, but they didn't want to be so high as to alarm the lord of the country himself!
What is it that deserves Lu Youyou to come forward? If it is just a commendation and award, it is enough for Mo Yu to temporarily replace the lord of the country himself.
Could it be ......
Just when people were feeling flustered, the golden phantom slowly spoke.
Under the golden light, Lu Youyou's face was blurred, but her voice was clearly discerning.
Delicate like a girl who has not yet arrived with cardamom, long as an elder who has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes.
"Today, 1,200 years ago, civilization began with the city of Rongcheng......"
Using the city's history as a starting point, Deer Yoyo kicks off today's rituals.
"What is civilization? For today's people, having enough food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment, can be described as civilization; Self-improvement, advancing with the times, can be described as civilization. But 1,200 years ago, civilization was a spark in the sea of blood in the mountains of corpses, an inch of paradise between the overturning of mountains and rivers, and a glimmer of extravagant hope for the future of the dying people. ”
The voice of the lord of the country seemed to slowly open a picture scroll in the hearts of the audience, and in just a few words, the picture scroll came to the chapter of the broken mountains and rivers, like a scene like a bad land, which made people feel suffocated.
"Civilization is a struggle against desolation. Our civilization today is a clear proof of the unremitting struggle and continuous victories of mankind over the past 1,200 years. But the war is not over, and the threat has never gone away. Outside the realm of civilization, the demons of the desolation are eyeing us all the time; The erosion of desolation is also shaking the great barrier of the Eight Directions Determination Wilderness all the time. ”
……
"In the three hundred years of the Immortal Calendar, the Immortal Monarch Rebellion that broke out in Zhou Guo almost shattered the Ning Yuan Diagram; In the six hundred years of the immortal calendar, Mo Lin's dragon head natural disaster came, the holy mountain was corroded by more than half, and the contemporary dragon monarch unfortunately fell; In the 1,100 years of the immortal calendar, the tide of famine in the central part of the moon reversed, and the city of Dinghuang was overturned several times, and the hundred countries of the Immortal League finally pacified it after hardships...... If the desolation cannot be eradicated, such disasters will only happen again and again, and as long as any one of them is negligent and fails, then the accumulation of 1,200 years will come to naught. ”
……
"We will lose our land, our homeland, our relatives and friends, we will lose our lives, our honor, and everything we hold dear, and we will lose our civilization."
……
"Therefore, we will continue to advance, continue to win, continue to expand the territory of civilization outward, purify and erase the barren territory, until the last trace of desolation disappears from our sight forever, and we can truly usher in civilization."
……
"And this is also our agreement with the Heavenly Dao. For 1,200 years, the Underworld Avenue above the sky has always fulfilled its promise, giving the power of heaven to the beings of the Immortal Alliance, and now, it is time for us to fulfill our promise. The Eight Directions Determination of the Wasteland, with Rongcheng as the anchor point of the Determination of the Wasteland, will go westward, piercing into the Tianzhizuo Wasteland that no one has ever set foot in before like a sharp cone, until the shore of Fenghu Lake in Mozhou. ”
……
"It's going to be an unprecedented journey and we're going to face unprecedented difficulties. But at the same time, we will also have an unprecedented powerful boost, behind us is the vast land from the Spirit Mountain in the east to the Stygian Sea in the west, the hundreds of millions of living beings in the five states and hundreds of countries are united as one, and it is an epic full of victories again and again for 1,200 years! ”
……
"Here, I, Lu Youyou, announce in the name of wishing the lord of the country that the Rongcheng Pioneer is officially launched!"
