Chapter 036 Festival Countdown
After getting busy, time passed quickly and the sacrificial ceremony was just around the corner.
With one day left before the festival begins, all the hotels in Ning'an City are already full. Many locals seized this rare opportunity and temporarily rented out their homes at high prices to those who failed to grab a hotel, making a lot of money.
Of course, the only people who would rent this kind of 'B&B' are those who have grabbed tickets and ordinary people who just want to join in the fun. Most of them can't get a place in a hotel, so they can only make do with this kind of 'B&B'. As for those who were invited, the authorities had already prepared accommodation for them, so they didn't have to worry about it.
Since this kind of event was not like a military parade and could not be rehearsed in advance, the central government and Ning'an City dispatched countless personnel to maintain order in the face of so many visitors. Nowadays, there are patrols every half meter on every street in Ning'an City, and the security level is comparable to that during a national conference.
This means that if you want to go shopping in Ning'an City, you will be stared at by many eyes. But even so, no one complained or anything. After all, we have finally come this far, and no one wants any accidents to happen when the time comes.
Apart from these insignificant little issues, Ning'an City still has that atmosphere.
The streets and alleys were crowded with excited tourists, who were taking a quick tour of Ning'an. However, few people paid attention to the scenery and culture. What everyone was talking about and focusing on was tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony.
The tourists were spending the last bit of time nervously and expectantly, while the officials were still busy with the final preparations.
Duan Shi had already brought the Dragon Group to Mount Tai a few days ago to begin preparations. Qiao Ji was also called out from Mount Tai, and followed the large army to make various preparations and help in whatever way she could.
However, as of today, there is no longer anything that requires Qiao Ji's help. Only Duan Shi and the others are still nervously conducting on-site inspections over and over again.
No one dared to ask Qiao Ji to do such a boring and unskilled task, so she just stayed in the square today as a "mascot". At most, if I see someone busy in the square having trouble, I would lend a hand and help out a little.
"Lingling, how are you going to switch to Long Jun's vest tomorrow? '
Orange wandered around with Chu Yi in the virtual world and chatted with her.
'Just change it tonight. With the flexibility of the vest, you don't have to worry about anyone finding out that something is wrong. Besides, everyone's attention will be on Long Jun tomorrow, so no one will pay attention to Qiao Ji. '
'I thought you would find a way to get Hashihime offline temporarily. 'After all, this was what she had intended when she placed the stele on Mount Tai.
Chu Yi also understood what Juzi meant by that, but she was too lazy to bother with it now.
'Then you've forgotten the plan. If we really awaken the Dragon King in Mount Tai, then Qiao Ji will definitely not be able to get close to him. Of course, we can only find a way to log off. '
They are all her aliases. Qiao Ji is definitely not afraid of Long Jun. However, according to legend, even the emperor could not get close to a ghost cultivator with shallow cultivation, let alone the Dragon King who was at the Taiyi True Immortal realm. How could she leave such a big loophole? She could only act it out herself.
But it was different at the sacrificial ceremony. The people above took great pains to arrange Qiao Ji and Liu Jimeng, and changed the position of the Dragon Group several times before finally determining it. While ensuring that they were in an important position, they also tried their best to minimize the impact that Long Jun had on them.
The authorities have taken so much trouble, why should she arrange it herself?
'So, Lingling, when are you going to appear tomorrow? 'Juzi was jumping happily in the virtual world, pretending to hold a microphone for an interview, not caring whether Chu Yi could see it or not. 'Will he appear after the sacrificial text is finished? '
Chu Yi accidentally saw a truck transporting sacrificial offerings arrive at the square and unload countless fruits that looked quite good. She silently floated closer, smelling the tempting aroma, and couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
Then her eyes widened as she looked at it, and she no longer cared about Orange's problem.
"Bell? Bell? Hey~ Bell~ Bell~"
Orange was almost unable to hold back and jumped out of the virtual world, and Chu Yi came back to his senses by its continuous calling.
'Oranges, oranges~ Look at those fruits, they look so delicious! Chu Yi's eyes were shining as he stared at the fruit. "You said, when I put on the Dragon Lord's vest, can I eat two?" '
In fact, it’s not just fruits. The offerings that will be used in tomorrow’s sacrifice are all carefully selected from all over the world and airlifted here. After countless manual screenings, it is ensured that every sacrifice placed here is world-class.
So when they were put together, no one could resist the temptation, not even Chu Yi, who was used to seeing good things in the system.
It's so tempting, it's like it's sparkling.
Orange's attention was also diverted. It couldn't help but look in the direction Chu Yi was looking, and was immediately attracted by his gaze.
'Wow~ looks delicious! '
'Is that so? I told you! '
'These were originally meant for offering sacrifices to the Dragon King, so eating two... should be... okay, right? '
Originally, Orange wanted to seriously criticize Chu Yi. How could a god come down to earth just to think about eating? But looking at these offerings, it couldn't say these words because it wanted to eat them too.
"Woo..." Chu Yi stared at it for a while, and finally made up his mind and flew away quickly, so as to out of sight, out of mind. "I have to maintain the style of the Dragon King, so I absolutely cannot eat it! '
Never mind, she can’t see, she can’t see.
Woohoo...I feel so sad...I feel like I missed out on 100 million.
In order to divert his attention, Chu Yi brought the topic back to tomorrow's sacrifice: "As for my appearance, I am actually a little conflicted. I had originally planned to leave after the eulogy was finished, but then I thought that might be too much of a wish. '
'Then what are your plans, Lingdang? '
'Then I planned to ask them to invite him a few more times, so that the Dragon King's status would appear high enough when he appeared on stage. 'It doesn't really matter to her when she appears, but as the Dragon King, she can't lower her status too much. After all, she is the most powerful deity known to date.
Or was it a high-end suit that she had spent a lot of points to redeem!
We can't let them see it too easily.
'Anyway, they don't dare to blame Long Jun. Lingling can appear whenever she wants. 'Juzi unconditionally supports any decision made by Chu Yi.
'And then, I also designed a lot of special effects. 'She said proudly: 'It is guaranteed to open everyone's eyes. '
'Did you redeem the special effects in the wardrobe? 'Juzi opened the system curiously, wanting to find out what special effects she had redeemed.
As a dress-up game, special effects, pets, and ornaments are of course indispensable elements. Chu Yi doesn’t even know how many of these things he has.
'Special effects are not exchangeable. I plan to make one myself using Long Jun's abilities. There is a ready-made dragon vein right under your feet, why waste those points? '
Although redeeming points is very convenient, Chu Yi is short of points now and can't bear to waste them on these pretentious things.
'Dragon vein? 'Juzi repeated doubtfully, 'The bell is going to activate the dragon vein? Won't there be any problems? 'Haven't we always emphasized the importance of dragon veins? Why do we have to actively activate them now?
'It is indeed very important, but it does not mean that you cannot do anything about it. Chu Yi slowly explained to Juzi: "The dragon vein itself is just an ordinary earth vein, but the belief and worship of countless people from ancient times to the present has allowed the dragon vein to accumulate inexhaustible power, forming what we now call the dragon vein. '
'In the past, dragon veins consisted of nothing but rocks, but now each dragon vein is a surging vein of light. It is filled with the flower-growing people’s most sincere faith in this land. '
Ordinary objects can become tsukumogami if they are worshipped by people, not to mention the national beliefs in their flower-growing land.
That power cannot be shaken even by ordinary gods.
'Since this power comes from the people, it can be given back to the people. So tomorrow I plan to use the power of the Dragon King to activate a small dragon vein and guide it outside, so that everyone who comes to participate can experience a shower of blessings from heaven. '
Of course, such actions cannot be taken frequently. Once the power of a dragon vein is triggered, it will cause the dragon vein to fall into a weak period, reducing its ability to protect others, and it will not recover until it accumulates energy again.
However, the power of dragon veins is different from spiritual energy. It is more like what the West calls the power of faith. As long as the human race is not extinct, its source of power will not disappear.
Therefore, the total energy of the dragon veins in the flower-growing land is enough to blow up a blue planet. It doesn’t matter if she wastes a little.
'Then those who come to participate are so lucky. After being cleansed by the dragon veins, their talents will become very good, right? 'Orange blinked.
Many people who had grabbed tickets previously complained about the high ticket prices, travel expenses, and accommodation costs. In any case, those who came to participate had spent a lot of money. But if Chu Yi intends to use dragon veins to cleanse their spiritual roots, then any amount of money will be worth it.
'Yes, after being washed by the power of the dragon vein, it is still possible to have a top-grade spiritual root, let alone a single spiritual root of the highest grade. '
She also knew that this was very unfair to those who were not chosen, but on the road to pursuing the great way, luck and opportunity were also a kind of ability. To put it bluntly, it's all just fate. If you miss out, you can only blame your bad luck.
'This way, there will be many soldiers with excellent talents. ' Orange sighed simply.
'This is the effect I wanted. 'It was because half of the people were soldiers that Chu Yi suddenly came up with this plan.
In the era of cultivation, the power of a country must be as strong as possible, so as to effectively maintain social peace and stability. She doesn't want this prosperous and harmonious country to become like the one across the sea.
When personal power is too strong and there is no country to suppress it, it is definitely a disaster.
Juzi has never really cared about these things, so after hearing her say that, there was no reason for her to ask, "What about those foreigners?" They can’t absorb spiritual energy to practice, right? Will there be any changes after bathing in the power of dragon veins? '
'It will also have an impact, because the power of dragon veins is essentially the power of faith, which can also be absorbed under the Western system. '
This actually also concerns the plan for the revival of Western magic.
Although she had vowed to go to the West to cause trouble, Chu Yi is now too busy in China and the systems in other countries are different, so she is unable to take action properly.
So she simply took advantage of this flower planting opportunity to start a sacrificial ceremony and invited dignitaries, experts and talents from all over the world, giving each of them a big gift package to solve the problem at one time.
'Why? What will happen if it is absorbed? 'Juzi felt that Chu Yi's plan for the West was not at all rough, and was not as thoughtful as he was in planting flowers.
But this is just a minor problem.
'Although the West uses magic power, just like spiritual power, it requires the practitioner to feel the free elements in the air and absorb them into the body before officially starting the path of practice. Generally speaking, it is easier to practice magic than to practice Taoism in the early stages, but in the end, practicing magic to become a god is much more difficult than practicing Taoism. 'Chu Yi first gave a brief explanation of the Western cultivation system.
Orange raised his hand to answer, saying that he had known about this before, "I know this!" Because in the West, becoming a god requires faith and a divine nature, and if the divine nature is occupied by the main god, then later people can only become subordinate gods of this god. '
Chu Yi nodded inwardly, agreeing with its statement: 'My current background setting is that this world has ushered in the calamity of the gods, and the immortals in the East have been less affected. Although many immortals have died, many have survived because of their cultivation system. The Western gods were sealed because of the defeat in the battle, and the next generation could not receive oracles from the gods for a long time, which led to the loss of faith, and then many gods disappeared in their sleep. '
'This way, they can explore and progress on their own. Isn't that freeing? '
Chu Yi clapped his hands in his heart and said with pretended happiness.
'...Nowhere! Isn't this just being left to its own devices? Lingling, you're such a fool. 'Orange was speechless at her shamelessness.
He doesn't want to be responsible and yet he says it so refreshingly.
'You don't understand, Orange. They love to study everything on their own. If I really get them to do something magical, I'm afraid they will be very uncomfortable. Chu Yi didn't care about Orange's evaluation. She had been a purebred rabbit in this life and her previous life. She was kind enough to help other countries.
She is just so selfish anyway.
'But you're not even giving them any hint? 'Orange is a little worried, will there be any problems? 'Can it really be researched? '
'You still have to give some hints. 'Chu Yi didn't really not care at all,' I will put one or two magician's training notebooks in the ruins of a temple, and then guide them to discover them, so that they will have a research direction. "That's very thoughtful." 'She praised herself again and felt that she was extremely thoughtful.
'......'
Orange didn't want to pay any attention to this narcissistic person.
Look at how much she cares about growing flowers. Other countries are like them being raised by their stepmothers.
