A year passed by in a flash.
this day.
Su Qian stepped out of the black stone space, walked out of the Jade Palace, put it away, and walked out of the courtyard.
Walking in the street.
Su Gan could clearly feel that Ten Thousand Immortals Island was a hundred times more lively than before, and there were many monks flying towards the northeast of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
"It looks like the sea festival is about to begin."
When Su Gan saw many monks swarming away in the same direction, he knew that the sea festival was about to begin. He moved his body and followed the many monks.
Sea sacrifices are mainly performed to worship Mazu.
After worshiping Mazu, there will be a series of activities such as the exchange of items between monks and the list of ancient geniuses.
This is a rule passed down from Luan Guhai.
At the core of the Luangu Sea, there are eighteen islands, called the Luangu Eighteen Islands. They are the ancient islands with the most terrifying strength and the deepest heritage in the Luangu Sea.
The eighteen islands are arranged in a circle, like eighteen bright pearls inlaid in the center of the ancient sea.
The Eighteen Islands are surrounded by a huge sea covering an area of countless billions of acres, which is where the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Sea is located and where the sea festival is held.
When Su Gan followed many monks to the edge of Ten Thousand Immortals Island and approached the forbidden area of the Ancient Sea, hundreds of millions of monks were already gathering.
In addition, there are warships standing on the edge of the forbidden sea. The number is so large that it is tens of millions at least.
Many monks were standing in the sky, standing on warships, or gathering on the edge of the Eighteen Islands. They were so crowded that it was like a sea of people.
Boom, boom, boom.
Not long after, a bronze drum with a height of 100,000 feet, with various patterns of ferocious sea beasts carved on it, which gave people a sense of ancient vicissitudes when it appeared, appeared in the void, and a huge bronze drumstick came through the sky. , hitting the ancient bronze drum, causing it to erupt into a truly dull and loud drum sound.
The sound of this drum is ancient and thick, and has some kind of power. It seems to remind people of the ancient sages exploring and conquering the sea.
"The ancient bronze drum of Mazu Temple."
"It is rumored that the ancient bronze drum was made by many powerful seniors of Luanguhai who spent a lot of treasures and refined it with great methods. In addition to being a ritual tool for worshiping Mazu, it is also an extremely terrifying magic weapon in itself."
"The ancient bronze drum is ringing, and the sea festival is about to begin."
Many monks immediately became restless, and all of them looked expectant.
Woohoo.
The sound of ancient bronze drums shook hundreds of millions of miles, resounding throughout the ancient sea. When the drums fell, there were bursts of loud and high-pitched horns and the sound of conch shells.
Accompanied by the sound of horns and conch shells, groups of monks came through the air. One group was composed of women all dressed in colorful clothes with various spiritual peaches, grapes and other spiritual fruits on their hands. It consists of men wearing yellow and black armor and holding canopies...
In addition to monks in uniform costumes, there are also many people with painted faces, red robes and colorful cattail fans, who are the main force in worshiping Mazu.
Each of the many monks has been carefully selected by Mazu Temple. Whether it is appearance or temperament, they are all first-rate in Luanguhai.
"Fellow Taoists, I am Mazu Miao Miao Zhu Bailihai. Welcome to attend my Luanguhai Mazu Sea Festival."
"The Mazu Sea Festival is a once-in-a-hundred-year event in our Luanguhai. It is also the most solemn and sacred event in our Luanguhai. Whether it is a local monk in Luanguhai or a Taoist friend from outside watching the ceremony, I hope everyone can abide by the rules during the Mazu Sea Festival. .”
"If any fellow Taoist violates the rules and blasphemes Mazu, he will show no mercy to my Mazu temple."
There was a tall and burly old man with a long white beard and shiny black hair, who had tidied himself up and came through the air. His loud voice resounded throughout the forbidden land of Luangu Sea and the eighteen Luangu Islands.
"I've met Ebi."
"We will definitely abide by the rules of Mazu Sea Festival, please don't worry Ebi."
"Whoever dares to break the rules at the Mazu Sea Festival does not need you to take action, Mr. Hai. I, the billionaire son of Shenglong Island, will be the first to refuse to agree."
Many monks handed over their hands with awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
Baili Hai said that he was merciless, which meant that anyone who dared to break the rules would be struck by the thunder of Mazu Temple. No one doubted the authenticity of his words.
Mazu Temple is the supreme existence in the minds of hundreds of millions of local monks in the ancient sea. As long as there is need, anyone among the hundreds of millions of monks in the ancient sea can become a disciple of the Mazu Temple.
In addition, Bailihai can become the temple blessing of Mazu Temple. He is a highly respected person in Luanguhai, and his strength has reached an extremely terrifying level. He said he asked you to abide by the rules, so you must abide by them. rule.
"The auspicious time has come, and I invite you to pay my respects to Mazu."
Bailihai nodded and smiled. He saw that it was almost time, drank decisively, and bowed down.
next moment.
Whether they were standing in the void, standing on a boat, or the monks on the edge of the Eighteen Islands, they all bowed respectfully towards the forbidden sea like Baili Hai.
Paying homage to Mazu is one of the rules of the sea festival. If you don’t want to worship, you can come and go back wherever you want. You will not be welcome in the ancient sea.
"Goodbye."
After bowing, Bailihai bowed respectfully and bowed towards the center of the forbidden area.
One prayer followed another, nine prayers in total.
Rumble.
After nine prayers, there were bursts of roaring sounds, and a huge vortex was generated on the surface of the Forbidden Land of the Ancient Sea, and a huge stone platform made of ancient bluestone rose from it.
In the center of the stone platform, there is a statue that is 999 feet high and made of milky white ancient jade. The sky and the earth are full and the earth is wide and square. It is wearing an ancient robe and holds a treasure book in its hand.
That is none other than the statue of Mazu.
Even if it is just a statue, it gives people a sense of great kindness and compassion, and has the intention of all living beings. It seems that we can see a person who is talented, strong-willed, simple and kind, has a resolute personality, is courageous and knowledgeable, helps people in danger, punishes evil and promotes good. , the peerless goddess who eliminates violence and brings peace to the good.
As soon as the statue of Mazu appeared, there were six naked men with muscles on their bodies like horned dragons, and bronze skin shimmering with bronze oil. They were in groups of two, holding three mouths in their hands as high as nine feet, with inscriptions engraved on them. Ancient bronze tripods with various patterns of sea animals came out of the air and were lined up in front of the Mazu statue.
That is the Luangu Tongtian Cauldron. Like the ancient bronze bell, it is a ritual vessel for worshiping Mazu. It is also a set of extremely terrifying magic weapons controlled by the Mazu Temple.
at the same time.
In the void, two huge yellow cloth scrolls came out of the sky, standing on both sides of the Mazu statue. On them were some big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes, which contained the power of the law. One side read, Wan Qu Tian Lai Song Ma Zu, and the other side read, Write to Mazu. , I will look up to the heroic spirit in Haidian for thousands of years.
"play music."
Bailihai shouted decisively, and along with his words, there were bursts of drums and horns.
"Offer the sacrifice."
Baili Hai shouted again.
Swish.
Eight monks came from all directions.
There was a monk, and the iron chain in his hand was tied to a giant dog that was completely black, had three heads, was ten thousand feet tall, and had hell flames burning in its eyes.
There was a monk, followed by an iron cage of 10,000 to 30,000 feet. Inside the cage was a giant bull that was also 10,000 feet tall, with a body like a golden sculpture, and a pair of bloody eyes that seemed to have rolling seas of blood.
There was a monk with a bundle of fairy rope in his hand, and tied with a black pig whose hair was like steel needles, had a cold and sharp light, and whose body also reached ten thousand feet.
...
Each of the eight monks controls an extremely terrifying beast.
