As time went on, Qin Zian led the viewers in the live stream to watch the entire procession of Mazu.
Unlike yesterday's nighttime parade, which was illuminated with colorful lights, this was a collision of tradition and modernity.
The procession of Mazu is more traditional, allowing the public to see another side of the deity procession in Fujian.
As the name suggests, the incense-offering procession is a procession in which local people follow the procession to offer incense to Mazu.
The procession was still very long and included many folk activities.
Leading the procession was the flag-bearing team, whose flag bearers were there to ward off evil spirits and demons on the road for Mazu.
In addition, Xunpu women would also form road sweeping teams to clear the roads for Mazu's processions.
Immediately afterwards, eight strong men sounded gongs to clear the way, and the local dignitaries walked forward holding the first incense sticks.
The three flags, colorful flags, and local flags were intertwined, and the Xunpu women reappeared and performed a dragon dance.
The lion dance that follows the dragon dance is not the traditional lion dance, but the local unique green lion dance.
Amidst this grand performance, the incense pavilion, where incense burns continuously, appeared before the audience.
This symbolizes the continuation of the family line and the prosperity of future generations.
Dozens of other formations, including bicycle banner formations, lantern formations, waist drum formations, and flower-carrying formations, followed closely behind, creating a spectacular and awe-inspiring scene for the audience.
After so much buildup, Mazu finally appeared before everyone.
The all-seeing eye, the all-hearing ear, and the Third Prince Nezha appeared beside Mazu to protect her during her inspection tour.
Mazu sat regally in the phoenix palanquin, with two Xunpu women holding up banana leaf fans on either side, and a young man holding up a parasol for all people behind her.
Millions of people, holding incense sticks, followed closely in Mazu's footsteps.
Every household they passed would place offerings at their doorstep to show their sincerity.
When Mazu arrives at their doorstep, they will light firecrackers to welcome her.
The local people believe that wherever Mazu goes, evil spirits will be burned away and peace and prosperity will be bestowed upon the area.
Even if you don't follow the procession of Mazu, it will still take more than an hour to see the whole thing from one place.
Such a large-scale event proceeded smoothly without any serious incidents.
This demonstrates the extent to which the beliefs and culture of the Fujian clans have been passed down.
As a result, the viewers in Qin Zian's live stream also started discussing it extensively.
Some were awestruck by the grandeur of the Mazu pilgrimage procession, some felt proud of the preservation of traditional Chinese culture, some joined the electronic prayer queue, and others had already bought tickets to Fujian...
However, amidst this thriving scene, some dissenting voices inevitably emerged.
This doesn't mean they were using the banner of anti-feudalism to express their dissatisfaction with the deity processions in Fujian.
It's simply because... the psychological and emotional needs of some netizens have not been met.
After all, Qin Zian's publicity and live broadcasts have always had a strong personal style, and his creative methods are endless.
Last night's "Youshen Shizi" dance party was very popular with netizens.
Life is already so tough, we have to find some fun for ourselves.
Qin Zi'an knew all too well what the audience was thinking.
For these fans whose tastes have become so discerning, ordinary antics are no longer enough to satisfy their desires.
Even yesterday's "God of Parade" party had some people saying that Qin Zi'an's antics had become rather monotonous.
Besides clubbing, there are only all sorts of clubbing activities.
Qin Zian strongly disagreed with this.
People can question his ability to promote himself, but they absolutely cannot question his ability to create engaging content.
After careful consideration, Qin Zian had already devised his new plan for creating a prank.
"Viewers in the live stream, that concludes our morning broadcast. We have another live stream tonight. A friendly reminder: if you enjoy watching entertaining content, don't miss it, or you'll definitely regret it for the rest of your life."
After leaving those words, Qin Zian didn't even say goodbye before shutting down the live stream.
At this moment, many viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
The procession of Mazu has only just begun, and many people thought that Qin Zi'an would be following the procession through the streets and alleys.
As a result, Qin Zi'an turned off the broadcast without any warning.
Even though the live stream had gone black, it couldn't stop the barrage of comments from flying out one after another.
"Heaven will punish everyone who gets up late! I had only been in the live stream for less than two minutes and was thinking up my prayers when Qin Zi'an went offline??? Waaaaah, come back soon, I haven't even had a chance to ask Mazu to bless me with wealth yet."
"Speechless, utterly speechless! I even laid out KFC offerings, ready to let the Goddess Mazu experience the joy of Western cuisine... Qin Zian, what are you going to give me in return for my prayers???"
"As expected! The electronic game is still unreliable; you really have to come to the place in person to experience the feeling. Seeing the unique deities, hearing the solemn drumbeats, smelling the gunpowder smoke from the firecrackers... that's so exhilarating!"
"Am I the only one who's paying attention to the fact that there's another live stream tonight? And Qin Zi'an is even planning something big. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this. I hope nothing goes too far."
"As long as Qin Zian doesn't let Mazu and the other gods in Fujian fail the driving test, I can tolerate it. After all, the driving test only governs the whole world, not the entire Heavenly Court."
After the regret of not having time to pray for blessings faded, more and more people became concerned about Qin Zi'an's antics.
Their current mindset is... they're afraid Qin Zian won't come, but they're also afraid Qin Zian will cause trouble.
After all, Qin Zi'an's antics often had the power to shatter everyone's skulls.
From the initial residents of Harbin, to shamans, and then to directors of cultural and tourism bureaus in various regions...
It can be said that Qin Zi'an used every means at his disposal, unconditionally using his antics to destroy everyone.
Despite saying that, the audience did indeed derive enjoyment from it.
Therefore, the vast majority of people are very much looking forward to it and have already set their alarms.
They were all waiting for Qin Zi'an to start his broadcast tonight to see what new tricks he had up his sleeve.
At the same time, Zhang Yiyi stared intently at the comments in Qin Zian's live stream and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Qin Zi'an, what's this 'prank' you're talking about? What kind of shock are you planning to bring to the audience this time?"
