The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 39: October water festival begins
At the very beginning, Zhong Lizi looked at the retelling of the text and felt a little uncomfortable. The sentences often paused and seemed a little stuttered, but as time went on, those "memories" sinking deep in consciousness kept floating. She spoke more and more smoothly, and her voice became clearer and clearer.
The atmosphere in the classroom changed again, and the students looked at her unexpectedly, wondering what was going on.
The female professor didn't expect that she actually remembered such a partial historical knowledge, she looked slightly dizzy and said: "Very well, sit down."
Zhong Lizi didn't even understand what was going on. He was still confused after sitting down and couldn't help rubbing his hair.
Jiang Yuxia looked at her and smiled and said: "It seems that you have really studied hard these days...I am more and more optimistic about you."
Zhong Lizi didn’t know how to explain it--I really worked **** my own, but when did I read this book?
"Did I see what I showed you yesterday? It contains a lot of content. If you want to master everything before the October Water Festival, you must hurry up now." Jiang Yuxia said softly.
With the pleasant electronic music, the buildings on the campus shined again, illuminating the woods and grass in the light rain.
Zhong Lizi put the folder containing the computer on his head and walked to the grass, thinking about the contents of the memory that he saw during the break, he became more confused and even a little shocked.
Jiang Yuxia gave her a lot of information, and it was very detailed, including all the things needed to become a priestess...
The question is, how does she always feel that she has seen it somewhere, and the more she sees it, the stronger the feeling, and she even feels that she is born with it.
What the **** is going on here?
Jing Jiu has already walked out of the lawn, standing by the side of the road waiting for her, without holding an umbrella, just covering his face with a hat.
She walked up to him and looked seriously at his only visible eye for a long time.
Jing Jiu~ a cry.
"Nothing." Zhong Lizi turned the subject a bit bluntly, "You used to say you don't want me to take this computer to school, I forgot, why didn't you remind me?"
Jing Jiu said, "I forgot too."
……
……
The light rain moistened things silently and continued non-stop, and it was October.
During this period, Zhong Lizi kept doing targeted training in accordance with Jiang Yuxia's request for information, and did not relax his studies.
Jing Jiu was still on the grass in the rain, waiting for the battleship to hit him, and at night, doing mathematics problems under the stars, or reading the collection of theses of the Academy of Sciences. For him, doing math problems and reading collections of essays was just like playing the sand-pile game in Chaotian Continent. It was relaxation, exercise, and a process of deduction and calculation. He just didn't know what he was doing.
One day, the rain suddenly became a little heavier, and it became more chaotic, probably because too many aircraft left Shouer City at the same time.
Today is the day of the October Water Festival, and a new priestess will be selected.
Thousands of aircraft left the ground and went up against the rain line. Under the command of the transportation spacecraft, they followed the temporary flight passages requested on the spot and flew towards the majestic mountains.
More people have already set off in the early morning, taking public transportation such as suspended trains, and then being lifted to the ground by straight elevators, and then going to the worship hall by equatorial trains.
On this planet, there are seven big cities like Shou'er City, not to mention there are so many layers of living quarters, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered on that grassland during the day. I just don't know if those people are walking in the rain, have they thought that there are still many tragic traces of the last war in the heavily deserted land under their feet.
The magnificent sacrificial hall building in the depths of the grassland is even more surrounded by a sea of people.
After the evening, some advanced aircraft landed continuously, and the picture was very spectacular.
A more spectacular picture is in the sky. Several warships came to a height of only three kilometers from the ground, shooting out hundreds of high and strong beams of light, illuminating the grassland.
The sacrificial hall is under the shining of more than ten beams of light, which is very clear and more solemn.
Use the lights of battleships to illuminate, and only the birth of the priestess is worthy of such a pomp.
Jing Jiu followed the students on the floating train, and after several scans and examinations, they came to the outside of the festival hall, waiting in line for admission.
The principals and directors of Star Gate University were talking to people in the square in front of the hall.
Usually, few people come to the sacrificial hall, and no one dares to disturb the priestess at will. At this time, the most important figures on this planet are gathered.
The director of the military base, the chief executive of the government, the family heads, the presidents of several major companies, and more than a dozen archbishops with high status are all standing on the square at this time. There are also some senior government officials and Mr. Xia as representatives The senior members of the priest family are also here to talk to them.
Today, there are people who are more attractive to the people's attention than them, and that is the one hundred girls standing on the stone steps of the altar at this time.
There are very strict conditions for participating in the selection of priestesses, although some of them are not convenient for publicity, for example, they must not be over eighteen years old, such as...
The young girls have beautiful eyebrows and quiet temperament, wearing white sacrificial clothes, neat black hair hanging behind them, naturally giving birth to a sense of holiness.
They stood quietly on the stone steps, unaffected by the noise of the outside world and the warships in the sky.
There is only one girl who is special, and that is Zhong Lizi.
Her hair was dyed red, and she was extremely eye-catching in the queue of the girls, looking like a burning flame.
She was so special that she naturally attracted some attention. Several archbishops frowned slightly, obviously not happy, and several high-ranking officials smiled and talked.
Maybe because of this, Zhong Lizi was a little nervous, and one of her feet was unstable, almost falling to the next stone step.
Jiang Yuxia stood beside her, reaching out without a trace, making her stand firm again.
……
……
"Why is she standing there?"
Mr. Xia frowned slightly as he watched this scene, and asked his subordinates next to him.
Jiang Yuxia's location was specially arranged by him. It is the most eye-catching place. With her quiet temperament and beautiful appearance, she can definitely attract the attention of many people.
Why does that girl named Zhong Lizi stand by her side? And also dyed such a weird hair color, who arranged it?
The subordinate whispered: "It's the request of the young lady."
Mr. Xia's eyebrows tightened, thinking that now the other party is also a candidate for the priestess, how could this be so?
The next moment he saw a scene in the distance, and he was very puzzled again, wondering who the boy in blue sportswear was?
……
……
Everyone looked at the girls on the stone steps, the high-ranking officials and the heads of the family were no exception.
Only three of these girls can enter the final list, and then the priestess will appoint heirs. Those who are eliminated are also very good choices for daughter-in-law. Those male representatives from various colleges, departments, and regions have even straightened their eyes, feeling that they can't see enough.
Jing Jiu looked at Jiang Yuxia, but kept looking at Zhong Lizi, not at the other black-haired girls.
He was very satisfied with the hair color he chose for this little girl. It was extremely red, like the light of the sword of Firth.
The teachers and students of Stargate University began to enter the arena, and he followed behind unobtrusively.
The students who came to the sacrificial hall for the first time looked at the extremely empty hall and couldn't help but exclaimed, wondering how long it would take to find their seats.
Those exclamations caught the attention of the big figures in front of the sacrificial hall. They knew they were young people from Stargate University, and their faces showed gentle and forgiving smiles.
The bishop of the second city saw Jing Jiu and his expression changed slightly. Although he couldn't see the boy's face, how could he forget the blue sportswear? The priest's uniform fell to the ground, covering his fast-moving feet. He came to Jing Jiu, hidden in the shadow behind the stone pillar, and said in a very humble tone: "Are you here?"
Jing Jiu didn't expect to be seen by this person, so he hummed.
The bishop lowered his head and said, "Where do you want to sit?"
The warships were only a few kilometers away from the ground, and the smell of gravitational field emitted made Jing Jiu a little uncomfortable. In order to ensure that he could launch a counterattack in the shortest possible time, he pointed to it.
The bishop did not dare to have any comments, and quickly led him into the cloister behind the stone pillar.
It was this scene that fell into Mr. Xia's eyes.
As the patriarch of the priest family, he certainly knew that the bishop who guarded the second city was the most trusted person by the priestess, and also knew the relationship between the young man in blue sportswear and Zhong Lizi... He suddenly felt some vigilance and anxiety , The family has prepared for more than a hundred years, and finally an outstanding offspring like Jiang Yuxia has appeared. There will be no surprises today, right?
……
……
The October Water Festival has already begun during the day. At this time, the selection of priestesses will be held.
With the ding-dong sound like spring water, a bishop stood in the empty hall and welcomed all the distinguished guests and people, and then the chief executive and the base director delivered speeches respectively. Mr. Xia also gave a brief explanation on behalf of the priest family.
More than ten black bishops brought more priests and female officials out of the corridors on both sides of the sacrificial hall, and bowed to the ground.
Senior officials, including the chief executive and base director, and thousands of representatives of the public also left their seats.
A beam of light illuminates the gray curtain in the deepest part of the altar.
The gray curtain fell from the top of the altar to the ground. It was so huge that it could be clearly seen from the entrance of the altar a few kilometers away.
This screen is said to be made of secondary nanomaterials, without any fine lines on the surface, smooth as if it were a dream, but also like a real sky.
A slender figure appeared on the curtain.
Star Gate Priestess.
Everyone knelt down and saluted the figure behind the gray curtain, and the priests began to chant the scriptures, praising the gods for saving mankind from the ruins of destruction.
At the same time ~IndoMTL.com~ the image of the sacrificial hall was also projected into the night sky by the battleship in real time.
Hundreds of thousands of people knelt down on the grassland like a tide, and they looked spectacular.
……
……
The whole world is kneeling down to worship the gods and their spokespersons.
Of course Jing Jiu didn't. No one would see him anyway.
He was at the highest point of the sacrificial hall at this time, right at the edge of the gray curtain. I don't know when he dragged a chair and lay on it.
This is the highest position and the best position, the closest to the real sky, and the closest to the sky-like screen. The light illuminates the curtain, and the sky becomes something like water. He turned his head and looked down, and saw a young woman in military uniform kneeling beside the stone pillar behind the curtain, and he couldn't help but startled slightly.
