Elf: I've been reincarnated into a Variety Monster

Chapter 167 Phoenix King? mega toucan only
Under the guidance of two rangers, the long ceremony line meanders upwards along Yunfufeng.

The melodious chants sounded again, crisp and melodious, with a touch of childishness, it was the singing of the youth choir recorded on the stereo.

The walking crowd has long been exhausted, their mouths are dry, and they are all relying on faith, and the patrolmen's expectation to encourage them to reach their destination is supporting their progress, so there is no energy for chanting.

There were far fewer elves following the team, probably after watching the excitement, most of the elves left after their curiosity was satisfied.

'Bobo' Su Qian landed on Xiaolu's shoulders, and openly exchanged the information he just got from Bankiras: "Chirp~chirp~"

(The Bankiras just now was instigated by an elf named Yanxuan to test humans. Its super evolutionary stone was also brought back by the elf from a trip and given to it. Find a way to break through the legendary level on the stone. All in all, Bankiras has realized a little bit, but he hasn't completely broken through.)
If it really breaks through the legend, like Feiyu's waveguide field is so strong, then today's combination of Xiao Lu and Su Qian can't beat it no matter what.

"Well, let such a strong elf test humans," Xiaolu muttered in telepathy, "It's a bit like hoping that humans will retreat in spite of difficulties?"

"Haw~" (Maybe it's ulterior motives, I want to see if human beings have powerful elves; it may also be the meaning of using human beings as a whetstone to exercise Bankiras; it may also be It’s Yanli, a silly boy who likes to play this game, it’s just a continuation of the previous rules. There are many possibilities, there may be good intentions or malicious ones, it’s useless for us to guess.)
Taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding humans couldn't understand, Su Qian lazily stopped on Xiaolu's shoulder and discussed with her while walking.

"Indeed," Xiaolu nodded approvingly.

"Oh!"

There were exclamations and cheers from the front of the line.

In the barren mountains and ridges with no roads at all, there are traces of man-made, a piece of ruined stone steps, most of which have been covered by mud and vegetation, but there are still obvious traces of planned stones.

This is what the local patrol bureau said was suspected to be the trace of the Fengwang altar.

The Wild Elf Patrol Bureau of Yanmo City probably knows the types of wild elves in the area under its jurisdiction. It is hard to say the exact number and location, but of course it is very clear about these fixed ruins.

It's just that I didn't know that it was the ruins left by the ancient fire cult, and I didn't know what its purpose was.

Now that the stone steps have been discovered, the destination is naturally not far away, and the speed of the team that was getting slower and slower suddenly increased again.

Su Qian flew over to take a look, and flew back feeling bored, and continued to chat with Xiaolu just now, "I told Bankiras that if there is a chance in the future, it will break through the legend, and I will come to fight with it again. Best wishes It can break through."

If the difficulty for a legendary elf with a good bloodline to break through to the legendary level is 1, then the difficulty for a quasi-god with a good bloodline is about 5 to 10.

Although Su Qian didn't understand these things, he also felt that the Bankera was quite promising.

"I didn't expect you to say that," Xiao Lu was a little surprised.

This guy Su Qian is obviously super lazy, but he still thinks of running over to fight again in the future?
"Hey hey," Su Qian smiled without explaining.

Can he say that he is envious of the achievements of other people's hard work?

Beside the intermittent stone steps, there were two huge stone piers and two broken wooden pillars, one high and one low, with red paint marks faintly visible.

Professor Kong couldn't wait to run over to observe carefully, and then announced loudly excitedly: "This should be the gate of the altar in the past, which symbolizes entering the residence of the gods from here. It is a common system in ancient times."

"Hmm." "Oh."

The priests and congregants of Zoroastrianism responded perfunctorily.

Because of the complete version of Menfang, there is one standing at the head office in Yuanzhu City, and many people see it every day.

After the excitement of those stone steps just now, the fatigue is now coming up again.

"I asked." Su Qian didn't even bother to look at it. "That Bankiras said that Yanxuan is a short black guy. I know what kind of elf it is. It should be a kind of elf called Marsha." Lots of elves."

"I've never heard of it," Xiaolu shook her head.

Humans do not know all the elves in the world.

According to the content of the game and the theater version, Su Qian briefly talked about the situation of Machado, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Just now he purposely turned into Geng Gui's form, and drilled through everyone's shadows to make sure that guy wasn't hiding in anyone's shadow.

Where did that guy hide, the Rainbow Brave—Sikong Xin Jinyan is here, why don't you just come and take a look?

After passing the dilapidated gatehouse, we reached the end of the stone steps not far away, and the front suddenly opened up, and there was a wide square platform on the mountainside.

It can be vaguely seen from the dilapidated ruins that there should have been large blocks of stone laid here to form a circular altar, surrounded by a circle of statues of elves.

In the center of the altar is a large sunken pit, which seems to be used to pile up a huge bonfire.

Now it can only be seen that this is an altar made of stones, the statue of the elves has long been broken and collapsed, and weeds and small trees stubbornly emerged from the cracks in the stones.

"It's finally here!" Sikong Jinyan reluctantly cared about his image, sitting on a saddle and breathing heavily.

No matter how good the plan is, there are not as many surprises.

I originally planned to arrive around 12 o'clock, but the road was difficult, and with the hindrance of the elves, it was almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

It was almost destined to be in the mountains later, and headed back to Baiyin Town at night.

The high-ranking and powerful Sikong Jinyan was a little annoyed. He always attached great importance to the execution of plans. As expected, there were too many variables involved when elves were involved, and his execution ability was far inferior to that of humans.

Like Sikong Jinyan, there are quite a few people who are almost out of strength, but most of the believers who are selected to participate in this time are physically strong, and some of them even brought spirits to help them.

They began to clean and decorate the altar, and a huge bonfire was lit in the large pit in the center.

(Worshiping Fire Cult gives up force, that is, it can’t spend a lot of money and resources to train elves like in ancient times, and cultivate trainers and elves who only obey orders. Ordinary non-systematic trained elves can still be partially owned .

In a state where the flow of funds is monitored, even if money is allocated to cultivate individual masters, it will not affect the overall situation. )
Professor Kong carefully observed the stone statues like a treasure, and took out his camera to take pictures one by one.

Su Qian in Geng Gui form sank into the soil, searched the altar inside and out, but still couldn't find Mashaduo.

Maybe Machado just took a look halfway and asked the elves to test these humans, and then he didn't care about it?

The doubts in Su Qian's heart were temporarily unresolved.

After the altar was cleaned up briefly, the ceremony of King Feng began.

The private detectives, two rangers, Professor Kong, and the elves were all invited away from the altar and stood on the stone steps outside the altar.

As a non-believer, it is normal etiquette to stand outside to watch the ceremony and not to participate in the ceremony.

The first item of the ceremony is: welcoming the scriptures.

The chanting in the stereo was adjusted to religious music, and various instruments were played together, solemn and solemn.

All the believers stood in circles around the burning pillar of fire in the center according to their status in the church. Under the leadership of the priest, they began to chant the classics in the church.

This part is more like a dramatic and sacred recitation of historical classics. Su Qian once listened to it in the crater of Honglian City. Ball, expect it to remember something, right?

After about half an hour of ups and downs chanting, the ceremony entered the second item: photo exposure.

This step was quite simple. After Sikong Jinyan gave a loud shout, the statue of the Phoenix King that was carried all the way was carried by four people and placed on the east side of the altar.

Here is a small raised platform with no stone statues of elves next to it. It seems that it also played the role of placing statues in ancient times.

What is a little embarrassing is that, in the ceremonial schedule based on Professor Kong's textual research, it should be bathed in the rising sun, instead of being blocked by a tree now that is gradually slanting towards the west.

Standing next to Xiaolu, Professor Kong, who stretched his neck and watched earnestly, was full of regret, as if he was disappointed that the ceremony could not achieve the perfect reproduction in his mind.

Times have changed, Professor.

In front of the statue, the priests placed all kinds of incense candles, fresh fruits and other items in front of the statue according to certain rules.

After the preparations are completed, the third item of the ceremony is: transfer the imperial edict.

Two Qingyan priests stood on both sides of the Fengwang statue, holding the black ashes from the burning charcoal in their hands.

The entire queue of other people is still in a circle, while chanting the classics loudly, while slowly spinning like a hula hoop.

Every two believers who turn to the statue of Fengwang will pray and salute to the statue of Fengwang, and two priests will sprinkle a small twist of ashes on their white robes.

According to Professor Kong, who is a good teacher, whispered popular science, in Yuanzhu City, the super-large "Zhuanzhao" circle can be in the square of the head office during the New Year, from morning to night.

Those who did not transfer on the same day will come and transfer again the next day.

This symbolizes equality, unity, friendship and mutual assistance within the Chonghuo Sect under the gaze of King Feng.

Fortunately, there were not many people here in Baiyin Mountain, and the whole process was over in about half an hour.

The fourth item was not found in ancient times, but was added by modern priests, and it is tentatively named: Bijie.

In the future, the prayers and blessings from Yuanzhu City will be presented to King Feng here, including but not limited to those silk scrolls, wooden plaques, and jade plaques with many names, as well as several priests who personally conveyed them on their behalf.

Although they were paid to do things with full sincerity, they also made Professor Kong frown—this group of modern Zoroastrian priests did not respect ancient customs at all.

In ancient times, only devout, meritorious and high-status believers were allowed to follow the priests and come to Baiyin Mountain to meet the Phoenix King as a reward.

Modern times have turned into a fast-food festival travel experience that can be bought with money.

The whole ceremony seemed to outsiders to be very lengthy, dull and boring, and all the wild elves who joined in the fun had already run away.

The drowsy Su Qian secretly 'borrowed' the horse seat that Sikong Jinyan was sitting on before, let Xiaolu sit on it, and then transformed into Bobo himself, lying comfortably in Xiaolu's arms, Yanli's elf ball is pillowed beside his head to prevent it from any abnormal movements.

The fifth item is the most critical item of the Baiyinshan Festival, and it is called: Audience.

All the believers lined up again and became a goose-like formation, like a low-lying wild goose.

Sikong Jinyan solemnly opened the wooden box held by Qing Yan beside him, and took out from it the iridescent feather that was radiant and extraordinary at first sight.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Su Qian always felt that the feather was a bit dimmer than that night.

I tried my best to recall the memory of the movie version, but it didn't seem to match the description in the animation. It turned black in seconds in the hands of the supporting actor.

Probably time caused the energy to pass away, after all, it was just a mere Yanli charging it up.

Facing the statue of King Feng, Sikong Jinyan straightened his clothes and raised his feathers high towards the sky amidst the sound of chanting sutras.

Nothing happened.

The "a rainbow thrown into the sky, and the god of fire, Lord Fengwang appeared" described in the diary, of course, will not happen,

The unlucky Yanli was still in the poke ball, being used as a pillow by Su Qian.

The chanting sound became a little lower, and the emotions of the believers lowered accordingly.

The outsiders who watched the ceremony from a distance whispered a few words, but it was not surprising that they had already expected that they would not see King Feng.

Standing in front of everyone, that chubby figure was still firmly holding up the rainbow-colored feather, not disappointed by the setback at all, and seemed to firmly believe that the Phoenix King would definitely appear.

Inspired by Jinyan Sikongxin's faith, the voice of chanting, led by the priests, rose again, praising Fengwang's beauty and benevolence, and praying for it to appear and bless people.

"clean--!"

A crisp cry sounded, and a big bird with red feathers, golden tail, and yellow crest flew out of the forest and rocks far away, soaring in the blue sky.

"It's the Phoenix King, it's the Phoenix King!"

"God of Fire!"

"A miracle! A miracle happened!"...

The crowd erupted, the believers burst into tears and danced, the hard work finally paid off, and all the hard work seemed to be worth it.

There was a bang from the crowd watching the ceremony, which was really an unexpected surprise.

Even Xiaolu suspiciously took the poke ball from behind Su Qian's head, squinted her eyes and looked inside carefully, repeatedly confirming that Yanli was still inside.

"Don't look," Su Qian's voice was full of smiles, he had transformed into Gu Gu with sharp eyes and used the see-through skill to further enhance his eyesight.

"That's just a fake Phoenix King." Su Qian tried his best to support Xiaolu's arm, so he couldn't laugh. "It's just a big-billed sparrow with fake feathers on its body. This Sikong Jinyan is a real lady." It's a talent!"

As we all know, Feng Wang is a mega toucan.

　For the entire ceremony, I admit that I found a few journal papers on religious ceremonies and wrote them for reference. There are probably three kinds of religious and folk ceremonies mixed together.

　　Any similarity is purely for reference and no offense is intended.

　　The main purpose of writing it is to create an immersive sense of reality, rather than simply mentioning "the ceremony is being held".
