Chapter 785 October Water Festival Begins

At the very beginning, Zhong Lizi was a little uncomfortable watching the retelling of the words. She often paused in the sentences and seemed a little stuttering, but as time went on, those "memories" that had sunk deep in her consciousness kept coming up, and she spoke more smoothly and her voice became more and more clear.

The atmosphere in the classroom changed again, and the students looked at her unexpectedly, wondering what was going on.

The female professor didn't expect that she could remember such rare historical knowledge, so she said with a slight expression, "Very good, sit down."

Zhong Lizi didn't understand what happened at all, and he was still confused until he sat down, and couldn't help rubbing his hair.

Jiang Yuxia looked at her and smiled and said, "It seems that you have really studied hard these days... I am getting more and more optimistic about you."

Zhong Lizi didn't know how to explain it—I studied very hard, but when did I read this book?

"Have you read the things I gave you yesterday? There are many contents. If you want to master them all before the October Water Festival, you must hurry up now." Jiang Yuxia said softly.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of electronic music, the buildings on the campus glowed again, illuminating the woods and grass in the light rain.

Zhong Lizi put the folder containing the computer on his head, and walked towards the grass, thinking about the contents of the memory that he saw just now during the break, he became more confused and even a little shocked.

Jiang Yuxia gave her a lot of information, and it was very detailed, covering all the things needed to become a priestess...

The problem is, why does she always feel that she has seen it somewhere, and the more she looks at it, the stronger this feeling becomes, and she even feels that she is born with it.

What exactly is going on?

Jing Jiu had already walked out of the lawn, and was standing by the side of the road waiting for her, without an umbrella, but covering his face with a hat.

She walked up to him and looked seriously at his only eye that could be seen for a long time.

Jing Jiu hummed.

"It's nothing." Zhong Lizi changed the subject a little bluntly, "You said before that I shouldn't let me bring this computer to school. I forgot. Why didn't you remind me?"

Jing Jiu said, "I forgot too."

...

...

The light rain moistens things silently and continuously, and it's October.

During this period of time, Zhong Lizi continued to do targeted training according to Jiang Yuxia's request for information, and did not relax his studies.

Jing Jiu was still soaking in the rain on the grass, waiting for the warship to attack him, and at night he was doing math problems under the stars, or reading the collection of papers from the Academy of Sciences. For him, doing math problems and reading essays is the same as playing the game of piling sand in Chaotian Continent back then.

One day, the rain suddenly became a little heavier and more chaotic, probably because there were too many aircraft leaving Shouer City at the same time.

Today is the official day of the October Water Festival, and a new priestess will be selected.

Thousands of aircraft left the ground and went up against the rain line. Under the command of the traffic spacecraft, they flew towards the majestic mountain range according to the temporary flight path applied for on the spot.

More people set off early in the morning, taking public transportation such as suspension trains, and then sent to the ground by straight elevators, and then went to the sacrificial hall by equatorial trains.

There are seven big cities like Shouer City on this planet, not to mention that there are so many multi-storey living quarters. During the day, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered on that grassland. I just don’t know if those people had thought that there were still many traces of the last war in the severely deserted land under their feet when they were walking in the rain.

The magnificent sacrificial hall building deep in the grassland has been surrounded by a sea of ​​people.

After the evening, some advanced aircraft landed non-stop, and the picture was very spectacular.

A more spectacular picture is in the sky. Several warships came to a height of only 3,000 meters above the ground and shot out hundreds of high and intense beams of light, illuminating the grassland.

The sacrificial hall was illuminated by more than ten beams of light, which was very clear and solemn.

The lights of battleships are used for lighting, and only the birth of a priestess is worthy of such a grand occasion.

Jing Jiu followed the students on the levitation train, and after several scans and inspections, he came to the outside of the sacrificial hall and waited in line to enter.

Big figures like the principal and directors of Stargate University were talking to people in the square in front of the sacrificial hall.

Usually, few people would come to the sacrificial hall, and no one dared to disturb the priestess Qingxiu at will. At this time, the most important figures on this planet gathered.

The director of the military base, the chief executive of the government, the patriarch of the family, the presidents of several major companies, and more than a dozen high-ranking archbishops were all standing on the square at this time, and some senior government officials and senior members of the priest family represented by Mr. Xia were also talking to them here.

There is someone who attracts the attention of the public more than them today, and that is the hundred girls standing on the stone steps of the altar at this time.

There are very strict conditions for participating in the selection of female priests, although some of them are inconvenient to announce to the public, for example, they must not be over eighteen years old, for example...

Those girls have beautiful eyebrows and quiet temperament. They wear white sacrificial robes and neat black hair hanging behind them, naturally giving off a holy feeling.

They stood quietly on the stone steps, completely unaffected by the noise from the outside world and the warships in the sky.

There is only one girl who is special, and that is Zhong Lizi.

Her hair was dyed red, and she was extremely eye-catching in the queue of girls, looking like a burning flame.

Being so special naturally attracted some attention. Several archbishops frowned slightly, obviously displeased, and several high-ranking officials laughed and discussed a few words.

Probably because of this, Zhong Lizi was a little nervous, his foot was unsteady, and he almost fell to the next stone step.

Jiang Yuxia stood beside her, and reached out to help her stand upright without any trace.

...

...

"Why is she standing there?"

Looking at this scene, Mr. Xia frowned slightly, and asked the subordinates beside him.

Jiang and Xia's location was specially arranged by him, and it was the most eye-catching place. With her tranquil temperament and beautiful appearance, she could definitely attract the attention of many people.

Why did that girl named Zhong Lizi stand by her side? And also dyed such a weird hair color, who arranged this?

The subordinate whispered, "It's Miss' request."

Mr. Xia frowned even tighter, thinking that the other party is also a candidate for priestess now, how could it be so?

The next moment he saw the scene in the distance, he was very puzzled again, wondering who is that boy in the blue sportswear?

...

...

Everyone looked at the girls on the stone steps, and those high-ranking officials and heads of families were no exception.

Only three of these girls can enter the final shortlist, and then the priestess will designate the heir. Those who are eliminated are also very good candidates for daughter-in-law. Those male representatives from various colleges, departments, and regions even stared straight-eyed, feeling that no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t get enough of it.

Jing Jiu looked at Jiang Yuxia, and then he kept looking at Zhong Lizi, without even glancing at the other black-haired girls.

He was very satisfied with the hair color he chose for this little girl, it was extremely red, just like the sword light of Furth Sword.

The teachers and students of Stargate University began to enter the arena, and he followed behind unobtrusively.

Those students who came to the sacrificial hall for the first time, looked at the extremely empty hall, couldn't help exclaiming, wondering how long it would take to find their seats.

Those exclamations caught the attention of the big figures in front of the sacrificial hall. They knew they were young people from Stargate University, and they all had gentle and tolerant smiles on their faces.

The bishop of Shou Er City saw Jing Jiu, and his expression changed slightly. Although he couldn't see the boy's face, how could he forget that blue sportswear? The priest's uniform hung down to the ground, covering his fast-moving feet. He came to Jing Jiu, hid in the shadow behind the stone pillar, and said in an extremely humble tone, "Are you here?"

Jing Jiu didn't expect to be seen by this person, so he hummed.

The bishop lowered his head and said, "Where do you want to sit?"

Those warships were only a few kilometers above the ground, and the smell of the gravitational field emanating from them made Jing Jiu a little uncomfortable. In order to ensure that he could launch a counterattack in the shortest possible time, he pointed to them.

The bishop didn't dare to have any opinions, and hurriedly led him into the hidden corridor behind the stone pillar.

It was this scene that fell into Mr. Xia's eyes.

As the patriarch of the priest's family, he certainly knew that the bishop of Shou Er City was the most trusted person of the priestess, and he also knew the relationship between the boy in the blue sportswear and Zhong Lizi... He suddenly felt a little vigilant and uneasy. After more than a hundred years of preparation, the family finally showed such excellent descendants as Jiang and Xia. There will be no surprises today, right?

...

...

The October Water Festival had already begun during the day, and the selection of priestesses would be held at this time.

Accompanied by the ding-dong sound like spring water, a bishop stood in the empty hall and welcomed all the distinguished guests and the public, and then the chief executive and the base supervisor delivered speeches respectively. Mr. Xia also gave a brief explanation on behalf of the priest family.

More than a dozen bishops in black came out from the hidden corridors on both sides of the altar with more priests and female officials, and knelt down on the ground.

Senior officials, including the chief executive and base director, and thousands of public representatives also left their seats.

A beam of light illuminated the gray curtain at the deepest part of the sacrificial hall.

The gray curtain hangs from the top of the sacrificial hall to the ground, it is so huge that it can be clearly seen even at the entrance of the sacrificial hall thousands of meters away.

This curtain is said to be made of secondary nanomaterials, without any fine lines on the surface, smooth as if in a dream, and like a real sky.

A slender figure appeared on the curtain.

Stargate Priestess.

Everyone knelt down and saluted the figure behind the gray curtain, and the priests began to chant the classics, praising the gods for saving mankind from the ruins of destruction.

At the same time, the images in the sacrificial hall were also projected into the night sky by the battleship in real time.

Hundreds of thousands of people knelt down on the grassland like the tide, looking extremely spectacular.

...

...

The whole world is bowing down to the gods and the spokesmen of the gods.

Of course Jing Jiu didn't, no one would see him anyway.

At this time, he was at the highest point of the sacrificial hall, right on the edge of the gray curtain, and at some point he dragged a chair and lay down on it.

This is the highest position and the best position, the closest to the real sky, and the closest to the sky-like curtain. The light illuminated the curtain, and the sky turned into something like water. He turned his head and looked down. He saw a young woman in military uniform kneeling beside the stone pillar behind the curtain, and he couldn't help being slightly startled.
