Section 105
"It seems that this time it won't be as easy as in Liyue."
Su Chen thought secretly.
Although the battlefield of the demon gods in ancient Liyue is very dangerous, he is a human being, and the most powerful old man Zhong will not easily attack human forces.
In addition to the Tianhu start, in fact, after he became an adult, he relied on his supernatural talents to be stronger than some giant beasts. In that case, it would be difficult to die as long as he didn't commit suicide.
Now he has turned into Inazuma. About 1,500 years ago, the positions of the seven gods have been determined. The twins of thunder and lightning are in power. When facing external threats, they basically kill one by one without mercy.
Su Chen estimated that if he was not careful, he would have to accompany the brothers next door.
"Su Chen, what's wrong?"
The voice of Paimong came from the door.
"Nothing." Su Chen turned off the simulation interface and smiled: "Let's go to the Human Emperor Festival."
...
Central Square.
At this time, the huge square was full of people inside and outside.
Fortunately, Qixing made plans in advance and divided the square into two areas, the outer area for vendors to set up stalls, and the inner area for sacrificial activities.
Although there were fewer people because of the invitation ceremony, there were still a sea of people at this moment. It is hard to imagine how terrifying the Human Emperor Festival is under normal circumstances.
"Huh? That seems to be the traveler."
"It's her. I heard that she was recognized by Xuanyuan Sword and was designated as the next Human Emperor by the immortals."
"Is it true? The position of the Human Emperor has been vacant for thousands of years. Is there a legacy?"
"It should be true. The emperor is gone. At least one will succeed to the throne, right? Either the Human Emperor or the emperor, one must be chosen."
"Do you look at the one next to her? Doesn't he look like the Human Emperor?"
"Really! I'm so excited to see the Human Emperor come to participate in the Human Emperor Festival!"
Compared with Liyue Port, the people of Guiliji seem to have a more crazy worship of the Human Emperor.
Soon, Su Chen was surrounded by people. Although they knew that the Emperor of Man could not really come, this did not hinder their enthusiasm for Su Chen.
Looking at this terrifying formation, Paimeng said: "Look, I said that if I open a store and let Su Chen sit in it, he can earn a lot of Mora without doing anything every day."
Su Chen glanced at her: "If I open a store, I will lock you in as a pet, and each person will earn 100 Mora for each rua. If I make some peripherals, it will definitely sell well."
Paimeng brand masturbation cup, whoever uses it knows.
Paimeng trembled all over and said "devil", then hid beside Ying.
The chaotic situation did not last too long. Soon Keqing brought the Qianyan Army to maintain order. She led Su Chen and others to the altar. As a person recognized by Xuanyuan Sword, Ying was allowed to walk to the altar for a close visit.
"It's quite lively, more people than the Ceremony of Inviting Immortals."
Seeing his old friend's proud look, Zhongli said: "The space on Yujing Terrace is limited, so naturally there are fewer people."
"Just tell me if there are more people than the Ceremony of Inviting Immortals."
Zhongli was silent.
Heulia chuckled: "You two have this unreasonable desire to win, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at if the immortals know about it."
Su Chen said: "Don't worry, Zhongli is thick-skinned, and he is not polite at all to use others as wallets. He doesn't work hard to make money and spends money like water. He is definitely a social loser."
Zhongli: "..."
Is he not that bad?
Although he really has no interest in earning Mora, he is still quite sensible in spending money.
For example, he will never buy things that he doesn't need, and he will buy things that are necessary regardless of the price. Look, how principled.
Besides, as for wallets, the Hall of Rebirth doesn't have his monthly salary, and the North Country Bank is because of the promise of the young master. Everyone helps each other and takes what they need. This is the way of trading. The old man is indeed a real Liyue person.
As they were talking, the work on the altar was ready. Ying personally placed the Xuanyuan Sword under the statue, and then the immortals announced the start of the sacrifice. The disciples of the Baishu Academy stood in a special formation on the altar.
Su Chen saw Shen He was among them.
But from her appearance, it was obvious that she didn't like this kind of work. It was also because she felt uncomfortable with this kind of behavior that was more inclined to performance than the real kung fu of exorcising demons.
Just like Liyue said, the rivers and lakes are bloody and bloody, and kung fu is a killing skill. Once you learn it, you have to use it.
The upright Shen He seemed to have learned a strange truth.
Boom! ——
The magic exploded in the air and gathered into a huge virtual image of the Human Emperor. It was more than a hundred feet tall, wearing a robe covered with stars and moons, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, with a jade-like face and bright eyes, and had the power to lift the sky and split the earth.
When the virtual image of the Human Emperor appeared, there was an uproar from the audience.
But it soon quieted down.
"Not bad, it has three points of my charm." Su Chen smiled.
Zhongli didn't speak.
Heulia didn't say anything either.
Someone not far from them said, "You're crazy."
"In ancient times, there was the Xuanyuan clan, who obeyed the will of heaven to quell the rebellion and led the Ji tribe to the north of Tianheng to fight against the demons. He was called the Human Emperor and was called 'Xuanyuan the Great'..."
The priest on the altar began to recite.
It was basically the personal deeds of the Human Emperor. It was customary to read it from beginning to end every year. Every year, the people around him were still excited to listen.
"Time is up, sacrifice the sword!"
After the recitation, it was time to sacrifice the sword.
The most critical thing about sacrifice is the time. When doing what at what time, each step has strict restrictions. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this time, the high-level people, including Fa Nan and Shi Weng, including Qixing, bowed their heads and looked respectful.
All the people bowed their heads.
Burning incense and worshipping.
At this moment, a large amount of faith power gathered towards Su Chen.
The Human Emperor Festival, worshiping the Human Emperor, the people's piety from the heart, is also a part of the source of God's power.
In fact, the so-called God is also one of all things. When the influence reaches a certain level, praising his true name can gather faith.
Those who praise the Human Emperor should be protected by the Human Emperor.
When Su Chen stepped on the land of Liyue, power naturally gathered continuously.
"After the Human Emperor template ability was improved, my strength also improved... Although I can only exert my greatest strength in Liyue, the upper limit is considerable. If I can return to the peak, no one can threaten me under the law of heaven."
It is said that the demon god of Teyvat loves his people, and this is also true for Su Chen. He loves the people of Liyue, regardless of whether he is a demon god or not. It's like loving his own children, protecting their growth and becoming stronger. Zhongli should feel the same way.
As if he had sensed something, Zhongli looked at Su Chen, and the two smiled at each other.
This feeling is a tacit understanding.
Even if Zhongli has retired to the background, he will still keep an eye on Liyue's growth. He retired to better protect it, to give up unnecessary wear and tear, and not caring whether his people will remember him thousands of years later. He just needs to watch quietly.
The prayer is over.
The sword sacrifice is over, followed by singing and dancing, just like the performance at the emperor's banquet.
The Human Emperor Festival was originally a day to celebrate the Human Emperor. Later, when the Human Emperor passed away, the sword sacrifice was added to the annual session to mourn the Human Emperor's contribution to Liyue.
But this year's Human Emperor Festival also added a special activity. As the "Human Emperor Candidate", Ying was called to the altar by Ningguang to undergo the baptism of holy light and the blessing of the immortal.
The so-called baptism is just a special effect created by the elemental force, but the blessing of the immortal is real.
The immortal stroked my head, and I received longevity after tying my hair.
On the altar, Ying looked silly.
"Don't be nervous, it will be fine soon."
Fa Nan said with a smile.
After saying that, he waved his hand and spread a blue light curtain, and countless starlight dots fell and merged into Ying's body.
Shi Weng gently tapped his cane, and the power of the golden rock fell.
The two immortal powers merged into Ying's body, improving her body.
If ordinary people accept such a blessing, they can live a hundred years and be immune to all diseases.
Of course, this is only in the scope of mortals.
And Ying's foundation has long surpassed mortals by who knows how much, so these two blessings just make her feel a little more comfortable.
Lifespan +100.
"Human Emperor, she won't really be your successor, right?" Heulia asked in a low voice.
"I do think so, but it's a pity that she won't stay in Liyue." Su Chen smiled, "Whether it's a successor or not, just treat it as a good relationship. Besides, I'm still here, and we'll talk about the future later."
"What about the Xuanyuan Sword?"
"The traveler said she won't take it away."
Ying is not a person who knows nothing. She knows the importance of the Xuanyuan Sword to Liyue. If she stays in Liyue, there is still a reason to take the Xuanyuan Sword and truly inherit the throne of the Human Emperor.
But she had to embark on the journey after all.
If she left with Xuanyuan Sword, regardless of whether the people of Liyue would agree or not, she herself would feel bad.
However, Ying must like Xuanyuan Sword, after all, this weapon is worth at least six stars in the game.
Hey, mhy, it’s time to give Ying a special weapon, right?
Su Chen’s mind flashed with the scene of Ying holding Xuanyuan Sword and killing people in the wild.
Ying: Hill people, I’m so hot!
“Okay, there shouldn’t be any interesting programs next, let’s go shopping.”
Looking at the segment on the stage that was like the Spring Festival Gala, Su Chen was speechless for a moment, and what was even more speechless was that the people around him stretched their necks and watched with relish. Hey, have you never watched the Spring Festival Gala or what? Oh, I haven’t watched it, that’s fine.
Su Chen had not expected that there would be such a thing at the Human Emperor Festival. The performances followed one after another. The general idea was to promote Liyue culture with the theme of boasting about the Human Emperor. There was even a damn poetry recitation. Then he remembered the nine-year compulsory education that was established back then. These were all "top students" selected from major universities in Liyue.
