Chapter 27
The ceremony was grand, and after descending the mountain, they joined the emperor's procession, which consisted of a layer of brightly dressed dancers, a layer of musical instruments, and finally, soldiers with weapons.
When you actually step out of the large square in front of the palace, a loud trumpet sounds like a signal, and all the musical instruments perform ancient music according to their own rhythm.
The dancers twisted their graceful bodies, and the saints in white cloaks raised their hands and scattered all kinds of beautiful flowers.
"Wow." This was Yanagisawa's first time watching the parade from the top seat. He remembered their request for him to perform some miracle. What miracle? He wasn't a god. But adding some extra effects to the show was possible.
Liu Ze raised his hand and took out a weapon (Heart Moon Fox) from the space. Fortunately, the space inside the mount was large enough. With a wave of his hand, he placed one star lantern after another at the farthest distance in front of him (Yantian's lantern-lighting skill).
The illusory star lights hang high in the sky, and only people below can see them. Countless purple-gold nebulae are rotating around them.
Cry out one after another came from the mouths of countless people below, and the star lanterns spread forward. After the saints carried the sedan chair past the lanterns, they exploded the lanterns at the farthest distance, just like fireworks in the sky. Countless stars fell into the crowd, and there were screams, laughter, and it was as lively as New Year's Day.
Under the wide cloak, a star floated down to Yan Shiliu's chest, twinkling brightly. When he reached out to catch it, the little star fell into his palm, twinkled twice, and disappeared.
Under the wide brim of his hat, he tilted his head to look at the stars on the bicycle frame. His black hair was as smooth and silky as the night sky, gently caressing his cheek as he moved. His purple eyes were filled with stars, sparkling as he looked at the people below. His little mouth, which was always chattering, was now smiling.
He would greet everyone, he would smile at everyone, and he would use his magical powers to make the stars in the sky fall to the earth.
Yes, landing on earth, he is now the Son of God and follows Xingzi, which is the greatest gift God has given him. Just looking at him like this, he doesn't need anything else.
Yan Shiliu is the third-ranked secret guard. No one has ever escaped from the identity of a secret guard alive like him. He also has no more poison to collect every three months. He walks on it day by day, and he has nothing to ask for if he can die next to Xingxing on the last day.
His lowly status didn't even qualify him to be a sacrifice; the Saint was a gift to the Star Child. His position in the starry sky was awkward. He was the first Saint Son in the Star Palace, but his constant presence had already made countless Saints jealous.
The closer to the place of sacrifice, the more people there are, and everyone is scattering flowers into the sky as if they have drunk happy water.
The path was cleared, and there was not a single light in the sky. Every time a light went off, countless stars fell, causing people to scream, and waves of people surged.
Amidst music, dancing and countless cheers along the way, we arrived at a place that looked like a huge fountain. There were countless small fountains around it, all connected to the big fountain with pools.
All the people who came to the celebration gathered around the star-shaped fountain pool.
"Woo——" A loud howl was heard, and all the sounds stopped. It was hard to imagine that in a square crowded with people, the sound of one could hear a pin drop could be described as so loud.
He led his holy women up to the fountain step by step, and placed his carriage on the highest point of the fountain. Everyone stood quietly in a circle around the fountain.
"Apricot Kwai is not here yet."
The shout was resounding, but Liu Ze didn't understand a single word. He looked at the scene, wondering if this was the climax. It looked solemn, and Liu Ze, who was setting off fireworks as he walked, felt that he had to do something.
Countless star lights were placed around the big fountain, and beautiful lines were connected between the lights. Liu Ze performed a skill show, and stars appeared out of thin air in the sky. They crashed into the ground with great momentum, exploding into waves of stars. The sound looked very loud, but in fact it had no lethality and was just for show.
Every time the skill landed on the ground, screams were heard. The saint in gauze, standing on the fountain, began to dance gracefully. The previous silence began to become lively again.
Liu Ze felt that he had almost used up his internal energy. He waved his hands and all the star lights in the sky exploded. Small stars flew down and purple mists exploded in the sky. The distant starry sky was right before his eyes.
Liu Ze's inner strength was exhausted, and he felt that he had done what he needed to do, so he began to look around in a good mood. It was a rare opportunity to watch the fun from the chief seat.
The emperor and officials of this country did not receive such treatment and had to stay in a corner of the fountain.
He also saw Anan in the crowd, at the small fountain in front of him, wearing a white dress. He saw him crying when he left, and thought he couldn't come. Now it seems that he is coming, but he can't stand on the high platform to watch the fun like these people who followed him.
He also stretched out his hand to greet Anan who was looking over there. When Anan noticed that he was looking at him, he jumped up happily and waved at him. There were many people standing around him wearing white clothes like him.
"You dead face, isn't Anan here? He was crying just now, which made me feel guilty." Liu Ze is in a better mood now.
"Um."
Liu Ze, who was dealt with with a single word, didn't care at all. He knew that this guy was a man of few words, so a single word response like that was quite good.
“Woo——”
Another loud horn blew, and the scene fell silent again. The old man named Tianji stood on a high platform and began to speak.
Yanagisawa was quite impressed. Back then, when they held meetings in the school cathedral, it wasn't this quiet. He couldn't hear anything the principal said over the loudspeaker. These ancient people were quite sophisticated.
"Alas! Heaven is merciful to the people. Whatever the people desire, Heaven will grant. Send down the stars..."
"..." Liu Ze felt something again. The leader's speech, which he couldn't escape anywhere, was what it was about. He couldn't understand it at all, only the first word. Alas! Wuhu? Fortunately, there was no "Alas!" If there was, it would have been even more distracting.
The old man with the white beard kept on talking for a long time, as if he would never stop. Liu Ze felt thirsty for him and drank a few glasses of water on his behalf.
"The stars descended from the sky to protect and pray for peace. More than ten thousand sacrifices were made, praying for divine protection."
The old man read the last few sentences loudly, and everyone present cheered loudly.
Liu Ze, who was already lost in thought, was startled by the cheers and started clapping as well, pretending that he had heard and understood.
The music started playing again, and the saint in white gauze and the group of dancers just now started dancing together.
