The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 44: Heir to the priestess
Jing Jiu turned around and walked back to the sacrificial hall, and sat down beside the priestess.
The starlight seemed to move along with him, and the hall became brighter.
The water in the celadon bowl in front of the priestess exudes dim light, like condensed colored glaze, and a few petals float slowly, irregularly.
The three girls suppressed their shock and anxiety, and knelt in front of her as the priestess signaled.
The gaze of the priestess moved slowly over them, and the deep and wise eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about them.
The three girls knew that the successor to the priestess would be born in the next moment, and they were nervous with their own different moods.
To their surprise, the priestess did not directly announce the candidate, but looked at Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu asked Zhong Lizi: "Are you sure you want to be a priestess?"
Zhong Lizi understood the hidden meaning in his sentence, and could no longer control it, raised his head and stared into his eyes blankly, and was silent for a long time.
Jiang and Xia and Huaxi also understood that the priestess who chose the successor wanted to listen to the meaning of the blue boy, and raised her head in shock.
I don’t know how long it took. Zhong Lizi took a deep breath as if answering the question, staring at Jing Jiu and asking, "Do you have to have a baby?"
Jing Jiu didn't think about the meaning of this sentence, and answered casually: "No."
Zhong Lizi's mind suddenly relaxed, his expression was like melting ice in spring and the first flowers in full bloom, and said: "Then I will do it."
No matter who you are, you must be the greatest person under this starry sky. If I want to follow you, I can only qualify as a priestess, right?
The priestess smiled and said, "Let’s do this."
In fact, the successor to the priestess has already been decided.
From the moment Zhong Lizi decided to participate in the election.
Jing Jiu just wanted to make a final confirmation, lest she regret it in the future.
Zhong Lizi was mentally prepared, but he was still a little at a loss when he heard what the priestess said, and did not reply for a long while.
Huaxi is a very clever little girl. She naturally understands what the priestess means, but she is also a bit at a loss. Is it that simple? Looking at Zhong Lizi, she envied and said: "My sister is really amazing."
Jiang and Xia are the calmest and happiest people, smiling at Zhong Lizi and saying, "Congratulations."
……
……
The sacrificial hall is very quiet inside, and it is also quiet outside. Even the hundreds of thousands of people who carnival on the grassland all day remained silent, quietly looking at the magnificent building not far away, waiting The final result.
A bishop walked out of the altar, holding a scroll with spar as its axis and gold as cloth in both hands, and slowly unfolded it.
Looking at this scene, the crowd gradually became agitated, and soon calmed down again.
The big figures headed by the chief executive and the base director stood on the square outside the altar, with the ocean-like crowd behind them listening quietly to the priestess's orders.
When people heard the name that was no longer unfamiliar, they still couldn't help but feel shocked. Is it really her?
A priestess finally appeared in the underground block of !
A moment of shock followed by cheers from the sky.
The chief executive and other big figures clapped one after another. Mr. Xia standing in the corner was still expressionless, but the motion of applause was obviously a little stiff.
The Patriarch of the Mo family stood farther away, holding his crying daughter in his arms, his face was a little gloomy, but deep in his eyes hesitated.
several warships that have flew off the surface to the edge of the atmosphere, shooting beams of light at the same time, and then flashing constantly, celebrating in accordance with the etiquette of ancient battlefields.
Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks shot out from all over the surface, illuminating the night and day, and people began to party again.
Except for the surface, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the rest of the underground living areas. Today, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people. Even though the police department has increased its management efforts, fireworks still pop up from those steel cliffs from time to time.
Most of the blocks in the second city are exposed in the sky. Naturally, I don’t care. Fireworks can be seen everywhere, and at the highest point, it is almost close to the height of the crustal mountain range.
The dining hall of the New World College was upset, and all the tables and chairs fell to the ground. Many male students summoned their classmates to buy some drinks from the living department.
The director of the student office in charge of discipline was very angry and went to the principal to make an idea. The fat principal held his handkerchief and kept wiping his sweat, waved his hand impatiently, and reprimanded: "What do you care about when you are so happy! What do you mean!"
The girl named Lu Shuiqian didn’t know when she left the campus and walked along the path between the lawns towards the woods. Her back was extremely lonely and depressed. Looking at the direction she went, could it be that she also lived in The kid in the underground block?
The underground block called Minsheng has become an ocean of jubilation. The owner of the game hall generously announced that all Internet access is free today. The owner of the barbecue stall was carried by the crowd to another block. The ingredients left on the stall were natural. It became a delicacy shared by everyone. Several middle-aged men who rarely left the apartment building stood at the oven and kept greeting their neighbors. Mr. Dan was lying on the table holding a large bottle of grain spirits. Under the glasses on one side, wrinkles and smiles appeared on his face.
……
……
The whole planet, at this time, only the terrace behind the sacrificial hall is quiet.
Jing Jiu stood by the terrace bar, watching the fireworks rising up into the sky from time to time on the grassland, his face was illuminated from time to time, without any emotion.
He was not surprised by this result. Zhong Lizi participated in the selection of the priestess because he was guided by the bishop who guarded the second city, and the reason why the bishop did this... Of course it was because Zhong Lizi was by his side. Of course, the priestess would choose her as the successor.
The fireworks on the grassland suddenly became denser, the beams of light cast by the warships flashed more intensely, and the cheers from the main entrance of the sacrificial hall rose to the sky.
I want to come this time Zhong Lizi is on the high stone steps, accepting the salutes of the big men and the people.
The priestess walked to the terrace, not daring to stand beside him, half a step behind, and whispered: "I chose her because she is the closest to you. It is different to come to her."
Jing Jiu said: "Now do you have a different idea?"
"That child's talent is too ordinary, whether it is practice or study, in these days following you, even if you make rapid progress, it is not too prominent, at least not as good as that of Jiang Yuxia." The priestess's voice was even more humble. , Said: "I dare not doubt your vision, but she is really ordinary."
Jing Jiu looked at the fireworks in the night sky, thinking that no matter which firework was brighter and more beautiful, it was just a firework after all, so why bother about it.
The priestess then said: "I have carefully checked the Jitang a few days ago. She has no blood relationship with the chairman of Xuanyu Company."
Jing Jiu said: "Yes."
"Now she is my successor, even if this is exposed, it doesn't matter, but my doubts still linger."
The priestess said: "No matter her appearance, temperament, temperament, or aptitude, she is very ordinary. Her biological parents do not have any stories, but you are willing to show miracles on her and cure her disease... …Why is this?"
Jing Jiu turned around, looked at her and said: "She is really ordinary, what does it matter?"
The priestess thought she understood what he meant, and said with emotion: "Yes, if you are a real genius, where would you need God's guidance."
Jing Jiu said: "No, I just met her in this world. Whether she is a genius or an ordinary person, I don't care."
The priestess thought she understood what he was trying to say, smiled, and stepped back.
Yes, God does not need to care about these things.
……
……
The fireworks are too dazzling. After the lights from the warships pass through the atmosphere, they are mixed with the smog of the prairie carnival and become more muddy.
Jing Jiu didn't like the battleships, nor did he like this feeling, so he turned and left the terrace.
Jiang and Xia and Huaxi have been sitting on their knees in the apse. They failed to become the heirs of the priestess, but they will also have corresponding functions when they enter the final list. The whole sacrificial hall was busy at this time, no one could take care of them. They could only stare at the clear water petals in the celadon bowl. At this time, seeing him walking back, they couldn't help but become nervous.
A young man who can determine the affiliation of a priestess is naturally not an ordinary person, and he must be even more powerful than all the big men on this planet.
Who is he? Huaxi didn't dare to ask, Jiang Yuxia finally let go of the mission of the priestess, which has been undertaking for more than ten years, and gained a lot of courage while relaxing. He looked at him and said seriously: "Hello."
Jing Jiu ignored her.
Jiang and Xia had experience, and didn't feel frustrated, and continued: "We have met several times in Stargate University."
Jing Jiu certainly remembers who she is, but because of Bai Zao’s experience, she had already made a decision on the day she met on the lawn, and will never speak to this black-haired girl in any circumstances.
The room became very quiet, and the sound of fireworks kept coming from the terrace.
Huaxi glanced at Jiang Yuxia with some sympathy, stepped forward and took her hand, and shook it slightly, expressing comfort.
The sound of fireworks on the grassland gradually became sparse, until it disappeared, as if the excitement was far away from the world.
The battleship returned to space. The big figures who came to the celebration took their aircraft back to their manor and mansion, and the carnival crowd gradually dispersed.
The whole world finally became truly quiet, and the priestess took Zhong Lizi back to the apse.
There is no excitement left on Zhong Lizi's face, only exhaustion and loss.
suddenly changed from an impoverished girl in an underground block to the most respected figure on the planet, no matter who it is, it takes time to digest this mental shock~ IndoMTL.com~ Seeing Jing Jiu, her eyes changed It was much brighter, and when she was about to say something to him, there were hurried footsteps outside the gray curtain.
A figure appeared on the gray curtain, and then a voice sounded: "There are some problems outside the hall."
The presenter is the bishop who guards the second city and the most trusted subordinate of the priestess.
There was a night breeze coming across from the terrace, with a little coolness, and the hall became very quiet.
Everyone knows what he means.
The new priestess has just been elected, so is anyone going to make trouble?
Who on this planet would dare to be disrespectful to the priestess?
Huaxi's eyes showed a look of fear, Jiang Yuxia hugged her in his arms and patted her on the back.
Zhong Lizi looked at Jing Jiu, but stopped talking.
At this moment, they saw a scene they didn't expect at all.
The priestess saluted Jing Jiu earnestly and said in the most humble manner: "The world is stupid, please pity me."
Jing Jiu said: "I will kill a few fewer."
