Chapter 60: The Grand Ceremony

October [-]th, the grand ceremony of divine grace.Games to welcome the gods, religious prayers and sacrifices, and celebrations for the whole people.The three-day carnival belonging to Taoyuan kicked off after the bell rang at nine o'clock in the morning.

The guards lined up neatly along the street to maintain order, and the guard of honor blew their horns.Under the clear water and blue sky, the carefully decorated streets are brightly colored, bursting with colorful colored paper and flower petals like rain, and people dressed in celebration clothes cheered on the streets.

Several drones overlooking the city are capturing the scene from multiple directions and angles for recording.The beautiful fuselage shuttles through the rain of flowers, draws a silver-blue arc, and writes the next line of text on the newly taken photo: It was taken on October 2046, 10, 12 minutes before the city entry ceremony.

The sacrificial square in the center of the holy city was full of guests. Luo Xingyi and Qu Lin, as distinguished guests personally invited by the Queen and the Pope, were arranged in the VIP seating area with the best view of the ceremony. They sat side by side, chatting quietly as if no one else was around.

Dai You, who was in charge of on-site coordinating and dispatching, caught a glimpse during his busy schedule and saw the two of them sitting on the high platform in formal attire, but whispering to each other in a very intimate and natural way, forming a field of their own among the crowd... Immediately, I felt my blood pressure soar, and I wanted to The salute exploded into a firework that complemented each other.

The seats for two were arranged perfectly!Linyi is really awesome!I really want to build a Civil Affairs Bureau for them!

Luo Xingyi, who was talking to Qu Lin, suddenly felt a scorching stare. Looking back, he saw Dai You in the audience smiling and greeting them, and waving at her.

Looking away, Luo Xingyi continued, "Fortunately, you had the foresight to send them out in advance. Otherwise, with Taoyuan's current celebration of martial law, it would be really difficult to smuggle two people."

The grand event they were invited to participate in today is not an ordinary event. The significance of the divine grace ceremony to Taoyuan is no less than the founding day.During such a national festival, the pope, queen, and city lords of the two cities will all attend. For safety reasons, the entire Taoyuan is completely closed, and the entry and exit of personnel is suspended.If Qu Lin really waited two days before sending Qin Dayu and Xiao Wu away from Taoyuan, it would be too late.

"But today's ostentation is so big, it's not a disadvantage to stay and take a look."

Qu Lindao: "I don't think he dares to be as happy as you."

"That's his food, such a rare festive feast is not a blessing." Luo Xingyi heard thunderous applause on the street in the distance, it should be the beginning of the city entry ceremony, so he put this topic aside and turned his attention to Today's lively festival.

In the entire divine grace ceremony, the city entry ceremony is a very religious and political opening ceremony, which is very exciting and grand.During the ceremony, the gorgeous convoy from outside the city symbolizes worshiping God, respecting heaven, obeying religion, and obeying the law. They set off from outside the city gate and will parade along the main road of the holy city all the way to the sacrificial square to complete the ceremony of sacrificing the gods for all people to pay their respects to. .

Amid the louder and louder cheers, Luo Xingyi saw the leading team. He took Qu Lin's hand and said expectantly, "Look, it's started!"

Qu Lin kept looking at Luo Xingyi, who had a smile on his face, and was also intrigued by his curiosity, and looked down at the street below.

In the colorful rain of flower petals, on the spacious road, two beautiful horses covered in snow-white and golden saddle armor first appeared in everyone's sight.

The horseshoes inlaid with gold, diamonds and silver are drawn by the bridle rope, pulling an extremely complicated and luxurious painted carriage, which has entered people's hearts all the way from the fairy tales passed down by word of mouth.

The scenery of the four seasons hangs on the four corners of the top of the carriage, and the silver bells jingle along with the journey, which is as sweet as the clear springs in the mountains.In the car sits a faceless statue of a god of nature with gorgeous clothes - not that he really has no face, but that with the eyes of mortals, he cannot directly see the face of the god of nature.And around his noble driver, there are ten performers of lower gods, dressed in clothes completely different from Han culture, and holding different magic tools to bless the world.

Wherever it went, the sound of worshiping God was overwhelming.

The second car that followed was just as fine, but contained a very different set of contents.There are no ghosts and gods sitting on it, but incense table offerings, mainly new rice harvested in autumn, fresh melons and fruits, supplemented by new inventions, utility models and new medicines this year, to worship and thank the gods.

Then, the guards guarded the third car like stars arching the moon.On the third car, royal power and theocracy are intertwined, dragging satin cloth, and beautiful jade. The Queen of Taoyuan and the Pope are dressed in costumes together, and smile to meet their people hand in hand.

In the fourth car, the city lords of the other two cities were wearing a blue and a white dress, standing in the car and waving to the people on both sides of the street.

On the fifth car, there are elders who are chanting scriptures and wearing embroidered robes. Behind them are devout congregants in white clothes. The holy white is overwhelming, as if to wash away all the suffering and sins in this world. .

In the sixth car, it is very miraculous. Three jurists are holding the undisclosed legal code.Around their vehicle, there are also four attendants with different clothes and demeanors, which respectively symbolize the four virtues: wisdom, justice, courage and temperance.

... After that, the people who followed spontaneously came all the way to the pilgrimage on foot or by various means of transportation. The parade flags and performances were full of whimsy, and a hundred flowers bloomed, which can be described as wonderful.

For the whole morning, Luo Xingyi was dazzled by the sight.Such a grand and religious opening ceremony was too novel for his staunch Scientology followers.

He hadn't recovered from the magnificent city entry ceremony until the lunch started.

Today's lunch was an open-air banquet to celebrate with the people, and it took nearly two hours to vacate the table.During the toast, both Ji Shuyao and Dai You showed him ambiguous smiles at the same time. At that time, Luo Xingyi was still confused, but when a vigorous entertainment program started in the afternoon, heh, he understood.

The ancients were sincere and never deceived, like a mother, like a daughter!

The first day of the Divine Grace Ceremony was very luxuriously designed. In the morning, it was a city entrance ceremony, and in the afternoon, it was a carnival feast for the whole people - the blessing game.

This blessing game includes a lot of national traditions, such as a small and fresh teaser project for expressing love with flowers; there is a science and education project in which women in matrilineal clans can rob men to go home to marry and reproduce races to produce offspring; , a game project to get (qiang) blessings from the selected "Fu Seed" and good luck for a year... In short, this is a carnival without hard and fast rules, and people who have worked for a year can throw it away this afternoon. Bondage, wanton enjoyment.

The opening of the blessing game begins with the Pope's speech, and within 3 minutes, a lucky person in the field will be randomly selected to become the "seed of blessing".

The person who has been blessed to become a "Blessed Seed" will be monitored and positioned throughout the entire process, and the coordinates will be broadcast at any time to inform other people of his location. If his game props are robbed, the next person who gets the props will become a "Fu Seed" instead of him. analogy.At the end of the game, whoever holds the item will become the next year's "God's Blessed Person"!

Will have a number of privileges and unique distinguished treatment.

After listening to the rules of the game read by Dai Liming, Luo Xingyi thought it was quite interesting. He was sitting on his seat and eager to try, when Dai You suddenly threw a small golden ball at him.

"Catch it!" Dai You shouted.

Luo Xingyi reflexively stretched out his hand to hold it, and then, at this moment, the lights of the audience suddenly focused on him——

There was a sound of flowers falling in the square for a while, holding your breath and concentrating.

A drone slowly landed on top of Luo Xingyi's head. After scanning his appearance, a clear electronic voice announced: "'Fuzhong' has been locked."

Outside the tallest commercial building, the glass exterior wall was converted into an electronic light screen. A map of the holy city appeared on the screen, and Luo Xingyi's location was clearly marked by small red dots.

Luo Xingyi holding the golden ball:? ? ?

Seeing this, Dai Liming helped the tyrant and said: "It seems that this year's 'Blessed Seed' has been born, my people, let's work hard to become 'God's Blessed'!"

Seeing this, Luo Xingyi still doesn't understand that he was arranged by Dai You!He didn't want to be overwhelmed by others, so he was about to pass the explosive "Holy Flame" on to the next Chosen One.However, all the hands about to throw the ball were raised, but they were stopped by all the people present——

"No! Don't! You can't give up automatically!"

"Otherwise it will be ruined!"

"A lifetime of non-chiefs!"

"Brother, think twice! Giving up automatically will offend the gods, and there will be no good end!"

"That's right! The love of the robbed will never be fulfilled!"

What kind of broken game is this!It's too vicious!

Luo Xingyi glanced at the golden ball in his hand, and then at Qu Lin who was watching the whole show. Because of the sentence that "love is fulfilled", he stopped angrily and pulled Qu Lin to escape from the VIP seats. , "Tornado boy, attack!"

As soon as the two moved, the game officially began.The huge crowd in the square and on the street erupted into cheers at the same time. During the day, the fireworks were in full bloom and the ribbons fluttered. Everyone chased after Luo Xingyi and Qu Lin who were holding golden balls!

Luo Xingyi glanced back and saw that the crowd behind him merged into a colorful river. He couldn't help feeling: "I think the situation of the zombie siege is better than it is now! At least the zombies can't run so fast! They even started a live broadcast to follow me!"

Qu Lin casually followed him for a few quick steps, and was about to say, "If you don't want to run, let it go", when he saw countless people driving cars and helicopters surrounding him, pouring down flowers like water.

In an instant, the street was submerged into a sea of ​​flowers.

At the same time, the crowd who had already been ambushing in the building waited for an opportunity to move out, and surrounded the two of them tightly.

Countless hands reached out to them, throwing branches and flowers, hanging rings and sending belts.Luo Xingyi protected the little golden ball, and Qu Lin protected Luo Xingyi, trying to avoid the enthusiastic crowd and go out. He deeply agreed with Luo Xingyi's sentence "The zombie siege is better than the current situation!"

Among the flower-giving crowd, most of them were young women. They laughed and inserted a rose without thorns on Luo Xingyi's head, and booed amidst the loud voices, "We've been together for a hundred years! You're going to have a baby early!"

Above the congested street, Ji Shuyao sat on a helicopter and announced to everyone through a loudspeaker: "Luo Xingyi, sending flowers and ribbons is a custom in Taoyuan. I just agreed to confess. There are so many people chasing after you to confess, which one should you choose? But... I see that you are so popular and you happen to have no family, otherwise I promise here, if anyone gets your golden ball, I will Marriage on the spot?"

"Captain, be yourself! What's going on! It's fine for women to chase after sending flowers, why are there men!" Luo Xingyi, who had already been chased for a street, listened to Ji Shuyao's "edict" ", suddenly felt the vast darkness of the road ahead.

"Stop playing! Qu Lin, you are right, nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to give up, I will hand the ball over..."

Before he finished speaking, Qu Lin stretched out his hand, snatched his ball, and pulled the man to a [-]-meter sprint, "Go!"

In the sunny afternoon, the whole holy city was lit up by the joyful atmosphere of the game, the sky was full of flowers, and laughter continued.

Everyone wanted to make a good start in the lively atmosphere, as long as the jokes were not too much, no matter men, women, young or old, once they met Luo Xingyi and Qu Lin, they would gather around and chase after them for a while.

The girls wearing silver ornaments persevere in besieging the two "sweethearts". The silver ornaments glisten as they run, reflecting dazzling brilliance in the sun; A team of guards trained by Xingyi also remembered revenge at this time, and shouted behind: "Instructor, don't run away! We are still friends after handing over the golden ball! My sister Taoyuan Wang Zuxian, do you think about it?"

Luo Xingyi and Qu Lin ran across squares, streets, and wooden bridges hand in hand, and ran into Ouyang Ying.

Ouyang Ying saw Luo Xingyi and Qu Lin covered with flowers and ribbons, and laughed so hard that she couldn't take care of herself.Luo Xingyi stared at Boss Ying, who said "teammates escaped and I burst out laughing", and shouted in panic, "Ouyang Ying, give me back my golden ball!"

"Fuck! You're the one who is ruthless, brother!" Ouyang Ying, who was submerged in the crowd, shouted angrily.

When passing by a nursing home for the elderly, Dr. Hao, who was basking in the sun with the elderly in front of the door, saw the two and waved: "Come on!"

Luo Xingyi yelled that there was no problem, and together with Qu Lin, he hurried away from the chasing crowd, walked through a narrow alley, and ran to a relatively deserted river to take a rest.

Because it was originally a game for entertainment, Luo Xingyi didn't put in much effort, took a few breaths, recalled the experience of running away all the way inexplicably, and laughed, "Hahahaha what kind of sand sculpture game, you know there is a brother behind me Is it? He chased me all the way! Isn't he tired? I really convinced this group of people."

Smiling, Luo Xingyi thought of the ball he saved with all his might, and asked, "Qu Lin, is our ball still there?"

Qu Lin took out the ball and handed it to Luo Xingyi.

Luo Xingyi took this far-reaching ball, and suddenly remembered something, so he straightened his expression, and while watching the ball, he said puzzledly: "I seem to remember a person just now, who didn't want to participate in this competition at first." Playing games, but later I heard that he would be given a marriage, and he snatched the ball faster than anyone else, and dragged me all the way... Who is that person? Why can't I remember?"

Qu Lin gave him a cold look.

Luo Xingyi couldn't hold back his laughter in an instant.

The flower pinned to his head was broken during the running, but it was not completely broken. Even the stem drooped and the flower was hanging on his head, bouncing up and down as Luo Xingyi laughed, like a stick Stupid, very fun.

Qu Lin couldn't help but also laughed.

The two laughed at each other like a demon, and took down a series of messy things such as colored paper and strips hanging from each other.

Luo Xingyi honestly laughed while helping Qu Lin tidy up, but Qu Linen hung a wreath of revenge on his head. Just as he was about to say why this person was making more trouble, he suddenly discovered a shocking fact——Qu Lin smiled.

He has seen Qu Lin smile in many ways, ridicule, sneer, aggressive smile, superficial smile, polite smile... But he has never seen him laughing purely and happily like now.

In the past, Qu Lin was always icy. Luo Xingyi still remembered that he once described him as an ice field covered by thousands of miles of ice. No matter how beautiful his appearance was, it was covered with frost.But no one knew that after the ice sheet melted at this moment, only the word "shining" could match the expression between his brows.

For a moment, Luo Xingyi felt that the journey in half of the city was worth it, not tired at all, his heart seemed to be stuffed with colorful cotton candy, soft and sweet.

In the soft golden business wind, the river shimmering, Luo Xingyi handed over a white rose that he had plucked from his body, and handed it to Qu Lin's shining face in the sun, and smiled at him: "Send me a flower!" You, match you."

Qu Lin smiled, but couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes. He took the pure white flower, said thank you softly, and then put it behind Luo Xingyi's ear, "I'm more suitable for you."
