Chapter 323 Prayer Ceremony
「Goddess prays to heaven, Fuze Guz!」
The praying ceremony was also held at the altar. The street that was bustling yesterday was bustling with people again today.
The people of Guz greeted each other with cheers on both sides of the avenue, and after a while, a white carriage drove out of the palace.
In Guz, the prayer ceremony is not held every year.
Because the last goddess appeared in front of everyone was five years ago.
Yuyue and Ruan Youqing briefly talked about their Goddess in Guz Kingdom.
Only women whose fortunes are calculated by the national teacher to match Guz's national destiny can be elected goddesses. Even if they are elected, the length of time is not certain.
If there is no suitable candidate, even if there is no goddess, she will not randomly find someone to be her.
Every national teacher abides by this most basic bottom line. Even Kugli never said that he randomly recruited someone because he was bribed.
With the appearance of the carriage, the cheers of the people of Guz became louder and louder.
Yu Yue was wearing white riding clothes and leading the way in front of the carriage, while Ruan Youqing was sitting in the carriage upright.
At this time, she changed into a pure white long dress with black patterns. Different from the wide sleeves and long hem of the usual dress, this long dress has narrow cuffs and the skirt is slightly gathered.
A gust of wind suddenly passed by, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
Ruan Youqing's figure just appeared in everyone's burning eyes.
Fortunately, the face of the goddess cannot be easily revealed. At this time, she is wearing a red copper mask, which is also different from the one she used to wear.
Except for the eyes and mouth, everything else is completely blocked.
Although she couldn't see the whole picture of her, those deep eyes alone were already unbelievably beautiful.
Thanks to the sacred status of the Goddess in the hearts of the people of Guz, even if they think she is beautiful, they will not have any dirty thoughts in their hearts.
After the convoy arrived at the altar, Yuyue got off her horse and reached out to Ruan Youqing who was in the carriage.
Ruan Youqing, who received such a noble treatment, raised his eyebrows in surprise, the eyes of the two met, and into each other's smiling eyes, Ruan Youqing put his hand on Yuyue's.
At this moment, all the people of Guz who watched were silent in tacit understanding, and their eyes were fixed on the pair of intersecting palms.
After Ruan Youqing walked up to the center of the altar, Yuyue turned and left the altar.
Approaching the altar at such a close distance, Ruan Youqing finally got a glimpse of the altar.
Because it is six feet above the ground, surrounded by carved stone platforms more than one foot high.
Only at the entrance of the steps can you get a little glimpse.
After stepping into the altar, you can see that the inner side of the outer circle of stone platforms is full of dry straw, and the inner side of the straw is sprinkled with a circle of grains.
Where she was standing was engraved with totem patterns that she could not understand.
Yueyue had already taught her the process of praying to heaven in advance.
A wizard in charge of the ceremony came up and handed a glass of wine. After Ruan Youqing took it, he surrounded himself and sprinkled it on the patterns carved on the ground.
After the man left, Ruan Youqing walked around the altar a few times, three times to the left and four times to the right. Finally, she returned to the middle and sat on the ground.
The moment she closed her eyes, all the people around the altar, whether they were onlookers, officials, wizards, or... Yuyue...all sat on the ground at the moment the "Goddess" closed their eyes, posing with her. Same, like praying for something.
Zisu was arranged by Yuyue in advance in a private room in a restaurant with the widest view. Seeing the battle in front of her, she finally understood the meaning of Yuyue not letting her accompany her.
Anyone who is onlookers at the altar must participate in the ceremony of praying to heaven. They must not move, stand up or leave during the ceremony.
Although the requirements are a bit high, there are still many people in Guz who are keen to participate.
Zisu, who is not from Guz, naturally couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, Ruan Youqing is a martial arts practitioner, so it is not difficult to sit quietly for more than two hours.
When the time came, Yuyue slowly opened her eyes, raised her voice and shouted "Get up", all the wizards also opened their eyes, and after shouting in unison, everyone opened their eyes and got up.
Ruan Youqing also stood up slowly after hearing the voice.
The ceremony of praying to heaven has been successfully completed.
After she returned to the palace, Zisu had already returned and waited for her.
"Master, the formation just now was really shocking."
Hearing Zisu's slightly excited voice, Ruan Youqing smiled back: "It's about every Guz people's wish for a better future, so naturally it should be more grand."
After the two had another conversation, Yuyue also finished her follow-up work and came back.
"Xiao Youqing, are you really planning to go back tomorrow?"
Regarding Ruan Youqing's going or staying, Yuyue didn't intend to interfere too much,
But... she was still reluctant to let go in such a hurry.
After hearing Yu Yue's question, Ruan Youqing nodded seriously and said, "I've been out for so long, it's time to go back."
Yue Yue sighed softly: "Since that's the case, I won't do much to keep you. It's just that there is one more thing to do before you leave."
"One more thing to do?" Ruan Youqing frowned slightly.
Seeing Ruan Youqing's reaction, Yuyue quickly explained: "Don't worry, I don't want you to do anything for us, but for yourself. After all, this goddess can't be done in vain."
Ruan Youqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Seeing this, Yuyue continued to speak: "As a goddess, I can do the divination for you about the things you most want to know right now."
If the wizard of Guz is capable, he can also do some simple things.
Ruan Youqing was a little surprised: "Foretelling things?"
Yue Yu nodded: "Yes, but...don't make it too difficult."
After thinking for a while, Ruan Youqing remembered what his father and elder brother were going to do outside Changzhou City, and asked tentatively in his heart, "Can you... do the math for my father and brother to see if their operation is going well?"
Yueyue nodded quickly and said: "It's easy to say, it's fine, just wait for me for a while, I'll go get some things I need."
After finishing speaking, she ran away without waiting for Ruan Youqing to reply.
Looking at her back, Ruan Youqing laughed a little: "She doesn't look like a king in front of me."
After Yuyue became the lord of Guz, Ruan Youqing had seen how she behaved in front of others.
That aura of calmness and prestige seems to be natural.
But when she was alone with her, there was no coercion from those in power at all.
He hasn't even changed his name.
Zisu also replied with a smile: "Not only that, according to her age, she should be considered your elder, but Zisu thinks that she is more like a sister and friend when getting along with you."
When Zisu said this, Ruan Youqing felt a little more warmth in his heart.
Soon, Yuyue came back with her things.
Seeing the turtle shell in her hand, Ruan Youqing was a little stunned.
"You Guzi's wizards for divination... actually use the tortoise shells of our Taoists in the Central Plains?"
Yueyue replied straightforwardly: "Little girl, you must learn to master it! Okay, okay, don't delay the auspicious time, tell me your father and brother's birthday quickly."
After Ruan Youqing said it in doubt, he looked at Yuyue's next move with a complicated expression.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Yuyue stopped her movements, and the expression on her face...was a bit dignified.
Seeing her reaction, Ruan Youqing's heart tightened, her voice trembling slightly: "The result... how?"
Yueyue pursed her lips, and then said with worry in her eyes, "Xiaoyouqing...your father and brother...are in danger."
