The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 650 Miracle

Zhao Changhe is a little unjust. He only knows the surface of the teachings of the Four Symbols Sect. He has never read a word of the vast ancient books in the sect. Strictly speaking, he is really not qualified to be a **** of the Four Symbols Sect. . He had nothing to say about what the wives were discussing, so of course he was thinking about what he should do to make the most of the ceremony.

We can't just sit there and let Suzaku and the others dryly introduce to the congregation that this is our Night Emperor.

 When the sword was successfully cast, many congregants saw it, and the level of public acceptance was definitely no problem, but it was a pity that it was not at the ceremony. After all, the ceremony still needs to show some "miraculous" meaning, otherwise it will be boring and embarrassing?

 There are two kinds of miracles. One is more imaginary, just use the Galaxy Sword to resonate with the stars in the sky. Then the sky will be full of stars twinkling, seemingly obeying the orders. Just like when Sisi was praised, the people of the Spirit tribe became extremely pious when they saw the phantoms of all kinds of spiritual beasts...

  However, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, this may feel a bit deceptive. After all, people cannot see the actual effect. There are many top experts in Erbasu, and there are many people on the list. There is no point in cheating.

Zhao Changhe looked at the fire and thought that if he wanted to achieve some actual results, he would probably have to make a fuss about the fire. At the same time, he also promised Suzaku to help her break the barrier. If they can let their Lord Suzaku break through the imperial realm in front of all the people, the effect will be self-evident... Of course, there is a high probability that it will not be possible to directly break through the imperial realm, but the sudden increase in practice should not be a big problem. Scholars naturally understand, this is also the carrot that the New God dangles in front of them.

 But how to help Suzaku break the imperial guard? Dual cultivation is the last resort, but it cannot be implemented directly, let alone in a ceremony... How to implement it still needs to be thought about.

Thinking about these questions in my mind, I said them directly when I was asked, and then I realized after I finished speaking: "I didn't mean that..."

Zhuque's face turned red with anger: "Respecting the gods and unifying the four elephants cannot be achieved by just three inches below the navel. I haven't even read a word of the sect's classics. How can I have the face to talk to the sect in the future? Come to think of it. , just now Zun Shen promised to receive the same punishment as Chi Chi, so from now on, copy everything from the holy scriptures to various exercises!"

 Zhao Changhe: “…”

 “Come here!” Zhuque waved his sleeves and left: “Take the four treasures of the study and copy a book for King Zhao!”

Zhao Changhe looked at Sanniang and Xia Chichi as if asking for help. The women who were fighting just now were extremely united and turned their heads at the same time.

 …

 At night, when the first star twinkles in the sky.

 The important ceremonies of the Four Symbols Sect begin at this time.

From the perspective of the season, if the sky is clear and the stars can be seen, the most clear star at this time should be Xuanwu, which can almost occupy the entire center of the sky. But now it is snowing on winter nights and the clouds in the sky are thick. It is difficult to see the stars. Only one or two can be seen flickering in and out occasionally, and the moon is basically invisible.

The main helm of the Four-Xiang Cult is located in a high-ranking official's residence somewhere in the capital. An important altar was built underground by digging underground. But today's leader's ceremony did not choose this important helm that had been used for nearly ten years. When the saint became your majesty, the helm was the palace.

 Everyone naturally gathered in the Ancestral Temple, which is now the chief helm.

The underground space is not very big, but the hierarchy of the Four Symbols Cult is very strict. This can be seen from the fact that the Venerable punished the saint as much as he bullied his grandson. There were only a few dozen people who were qualified to enter the core underground to participate in the ceremony, and the others were all kneeling outside to watch. Internal live broadcast.

There are obviously no stars in the sky, but there are stars in the sky beneath the earth, and the bright starlight is like a lamp, illuminating the high platform underground.

At the top of the high platform, Zhao Changhe sat quietly alone on it, with a low table spread in front of him, holding his pen cross-legged, and quietly copying the classics.

In the eyes of others, he looks so calm and unfazed.

 This ceremony is of unprecedented significance to the believers, because countless people witnessed the formation of the stars and the arrival of the Night Emperor.

Everyone is thinking that God should be repairing the shortcomings of the teachings and informing everyone of the correct understanding at this moment. God’s magnanimity lies in the fact that he does not need to prepare in advance, writes and promulgates now, and all living beings bow to his orders.

Suzaku Xuanwu, wearing the most solemn robe and the most standard mask, was lined up on the left and right in front of the stage.

 Xia Chichi is the most special one. She usually uses the Qinglong series in the field, and the people she brings are usually from the Qinglong Hall, because she fought for the Qinglong series herself. The robe used daily in the religion is that of the white tiger, which means he has inherited his mother's direct lineage. The robe he wears is also a plain white, sharp and handsome kind. Zhao Changhe only saw it when Langya was discussing swords.

 At this moment, the white dragon robe is used, which seems to mean that the white tiger and the blue dragon are combined. It is also the emperor's robe that bears the characteristics of the Four Symbols Cult.

People then remembered that the original theme of today’s ceremony was to establish a religious leader...

Suzaku stood on the edge of the stage and calmly announced: "The motto of the era, the day when the four images are unified, the time when the holy religion establishes its leader. The holy religion is established as the foundation, there is no leader, and the four images are ruled by the venerable ones. Only the four images are combined. Only when the person appears in this world can he be the leader of the religion. Therefore, for thousands of years in this era, the Holy Religion has had no master."

"However, our venerables have agreed that the explanation of the proverb is wrong. The so-called four images are unified and the holy religion establishes its leader. The meaning should be the coming of the Night Emperor, not the intention of the leader. The leader is the one closest to God, and his actions speak for him. Things. What does it mean to be closest to God? One is the closest to God, and one can express his intention..."

 At this point, almost all the congregants' eyes turned between Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi, showing "we understand" smiles.

Of course, it is closest to God. The first time everyone heard the name Zhao Changhe was on the day when the saint was introduced. Rumors spread: Did you hear that the new saint slept with a copycat leader? Yue, I don’t know how many positions I have played. Can I be a saint like this...

　　At first, His Holiness made her become a saint against all the objections. Later, her own practice really convinced the public, and these doubts were slowly suppressed. Now I know, the Holy Maiden, it should have been like this a long time ago.

 Who is the closest to her if she is not the closest? If she cannot speak for herself, who else can speak for her?

Suzaku's voice became even colder: "...the two have the most comprehensive teachings and can solve the obscure; the third has the deepest practice and can understand its control; the fourth has many side knowledge and can understand two or three. This is close to God, not God, and can be used for Lord of the Holy Religion on Earth.”

"Today's Saint Xia Chichi, who is both a blue dragon and a white tiger, has already touched the secret of Xuanwu. Her green dragon's meaning is close to the emperor's, her body is like the stars, and the flying dragon is in the sky. She went to Yangzhou for only a moment; she summons the shadow of the green dragon. , destroying the Wang family’s camp, all of these things are not enough.”

“Now Zhuque Xuanwu and Zhuque Xuanwu have agreed that the Holy Lady is finally qualified to be the leader of the church, to speak for the gods and lead the gate of the Four Symbols.”

 Following the words, Xia Chichi stepped up the steps.

Just as Zhao Changhe thought that the coming of gods into the world requires some "miraculous" tricks, in fact, even the leader of the church needs to perform some tricks.

As Xia Chichi climbed the stairs, the stars in the outer sky that were clearly covered by clouds suddenly flickered, and bright lights emerged from behind the thick clouds. One by one, gradually, the green dragons in the east and the white tigers in the west all lit up, and then Xuanwu was also looming, and the only thing she hadn't learned was Suzaku's intention. Suzaku was personally helping her cheat, secretly lighting up the stars in the south.

So when Xia Chichi climbed onto the high platform, all four phenomena appeared in the sky.

 The believers were very excited and kowtowed.

 The position Xia Chichi was standing on was actually not at the top. The "Zun Shen" at the top was still copying books without saying a word. A dragon chair was erected slightly below him. Xia Chichi stood in front of the dragon chair, flicked his cloak, turned around and sat high.

Suzaku Xuanwu looked at each other, then stepped forward reluctantly and knelt down on one knee: "See the leader."

 She was very willing to begin with, that’s how it should be when establishing a leader.

But after today’s fight, I’m not willing to give in at all, little bitch.

The original meaning of the salute was that Xia Chichi had to stand up and politely ask the two venerables to invite them up. Then the venerables had to perform a blessing ceremony, touch their heads and so on, which meant that the leader also had to respect the opinions of the venerables. Can't say a word.     But this etiquette has been changed.

The two venerables sniffed secretly and stood aside. The venerable Suzaku brought a cup of tea from nowhere and lowered his eyebrows: "Master, please use tea."

"Hmm." Xia Chichi leisurely reached for the tea, lifted the lid of the tea bowl and blew in the foam.

Sixiang Congregation: “???”

Venerable Suzaku, are you out of your mind? Have you trampled your master's teachings into the mud? Originally, although the leader was respected, he was able to restrain himself and would not speak too loudly. But what about now?

The face under the mask of Suzaku turned red, and he was extremely shameless. He secretly said: "You bitch, just say a few words, and don't say I'm rebelling!"

Xia Chichi felt so happy that she finally said leisurely: "I am just acting for the gods. I should not be so polite as the Venerable. The Venerable is my mentor. If I do something wrong in the future, the Venerable can stab me in the face..."

The congregants felt that their held breaths were relieved. This is right... There is a saying that Zhuquewei has been holding the Holy Cult for so many years. Her prestige is not comparable to that of Xia Chichi. Zhuque is the leader of the cult in people's minds. Even if Fuxia Chichi becomes the leader, in the eyes of many followers, it is because of her current status as emperor. In fact, most of the followers recognize Suzaku far more than they recognize Xia Chichi.

 Suzaku "hummed" secretly, not wanting to talk to the little **** anymore, he turned around and said: "As we all know, today is not only the ceremony of the leader of my holy religion, but also a more important thing..."

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Changhe, secretly thinking that just announcing the arrival of gods into the world, is there something missing?

Suzaku was also a little hesitant, but he continued: "Our Night Emperor has been found!"

Following the words, Zhao Changhe suddenly said: "Venerable Suzaku..."

Zhuque was stunned for a moment, what are you trying to do?

 Hence had no choice but to respond: "What are the instructions from God?"

"There is no need to announce the affairs of gods... I have never heard of such a thing as announcing who is a god. This ceremony only needs to determine the leader." Zhao Changhe continued with the brush in his hand without raising his head: "As a god, We should bless the ceremony, not introduce what is there and what is not.”

Zhuque said angrily: "How does the God intend to bless you?"

 Have you finished copying the book?

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "For me, the person I want to bless more is Venerable Suzaku. The Venerable has worked hard for the Holy Religion for more than ten years without any selfish desires. He supports the best as the leader of the religion and is willing to serve as his assistant. IV. Xiangjiao can live without gods, but it cannot live without Suzaku."

Zhuque looked at him blankly. Although he was extremely touched by his words, he had no idea why he was saying this.

Zhao Changhe continued: "I should give the Suzaku Nanming Lihuo to rule the south forever."

Following the words, he stretched out the brush in his hand and made a slight stroke toward the southern part of the underground sky.

As if the words were spoken and the pen came true, at the same time as he clicked, the sky was sprinkled with fire that was exactly like the fire under the ground.

The firelight swooped down, flew around the red bird, and gradually transformed into the shape of a firebird. The sound of the phoenix's chirping penetrated the nine heavens.

 The congregants were stunned.

The echoes of the stars in the sky when Xia Chichi took the stage before are actually the resonance that can be caused by practicing the Four Symbols Kung Fu to a certain level. The lower-level followers don’t understand and think it’s awesome, but the higher-level ones all know it. No big deal.

 But no one can understand this hand at all. Where did this fire come from? Why did it fall from the sky?

 Not only is it a real fire, its blazing temperature and violent power even exceed those of Lord Suzaku himself! That is really Nanming Lihuo, the source of Suzaku!

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please come up."

Zhuque stepped onto the high platform in a daze, wanting to grab him and ask him what was going on, but he had to show respect to the gods in front of everyone, so he had to kneel down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Honor the gods..."

Zhao Changhe stroked her hair and said slowly: "Look here..."

Suzaku's heart was shaken, as if with this touch, his mind entered a special space.

In the space, magma is everywhere, and a hot and white fire source in the center is faintly exuding the most original flame power.

 Have some insights... If given to others, it would be very obscure and unclear. But in Suzaku's level eyes, there is no difference between it and having it revealed directly for you to see. It is extremely intuitive.

 The understanding and perception of flames went straight up the stairs in an instant.

The stars under the Suzaku constellation stared blankly at the flames rising from their venerable body. Anyone who practices flames can feel their fire attribute being pulled by the venerable, and jump with joy and surrender. It was a unique worship to the **** who controlled the flames, and it was extremely clear.

 drugs

And the one who can grant the venerable being elevated to this level, what else can it be but the true God?

All Sixiang believers prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed, facing the high platform and whispering: "God came to the world to guide us on the way forward..."

The blind man stood aside with his arms folded and his eyes cold.

It is a hammer **** who came to the world. It is the natural five elements on the second page of the Heavenly Book. This guy took Nanming Lihuoyi and stuffed it into the Heavenly Book for analysis. The Heavenly Book analyzed it and gave it to Suzaku. Of course, Suzaku's level improved by leaps and bounds.

This is not over yet, there is still a follow-up, and that is the reality.

Amidst the crowds of people prostrating themselves, Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Now that the leader has been established and the meritorious ministers have given blessings, the rest of the complicated rituals should be simplified as much as possible and let go."

 “I will obey the order carefully.”

Zhao Changhe was still scratching his head: "Everyone, please retreat...Senior Suzaku stays."
