There were twenty or thirty less Jindeng warriors, and those in the back mountain almost disappeared en masse. The Jindeng master who was in charge of personnel felt dizzy after hearing this.
Due to the noble status of the guru, every golden lamp master can order any golden lamp warrior to do things at will. Liangzhou Mansion is at war again, personnel changes are busy, and golden lamp warriors are constantly being hired by the five major families. Xia killed them, but it was difficult for the master in charge to figure out what happened to these people in a short period of time. He simply pressed the button for the time being: "The Holy Mother is coming to personally preside over the lamp worship ceremony today. It is very important. Everything else is a trivial matter!"
He then went to the front mountain to find a dozen golden lantern warriors to look after the "sheep pen" as if they were catching young men. As long as the sheep were still there, the sacrifice could go on, and the missing of some golden lantern warriors would not matter.
The lantern worship ceremony begins at 9 o'clock in the morning. The golden lantern was placed on the top of the altar at midnight on the previous night. It is also an eight-jeweled lotus lantern. From midnight onwards, the light becomes stronger and stronger, and it burns until noon the next day. The most prosperous.
The Youshi ceremony officially began. A total of twelve Qibao Golden Lamp Masters sat in two rows facing each other, with devout believers kneeling below.
First, the chief guru preaches the doctrine and leads everyone to sing the "Doomsday Golden Lantern Redemption Song". After singing, he casts spells at the same time to form golden lotus flowers as big as a wheel in the center. These lotus flowers start from the altar and move one by one. Holding one flower, forming a "sky bridge", thousands of flowers bloomed quickly, with one end on the altar and the other end connected upward to the dark night sky.
The chief guru shouted loudly: "Please, Our Lady of the Golden Lamp!"
A beautiful woman wearing a white gauze dress appeared from the night. She held a purification bottle, stepped on golden lotus flowers with her bare bare feet, leaped in the air, and lightly touched the blossoming lotus flowers, soaring gracefully, like a goddess coming. Fan!
Our Lady of the Golden Lamp landed on the largest stone lotus throne in front of the altar. She was about in her early twenties, with a plump figure and white and tender skin. Her gauze clothes shone all over her body. Golden light emanated from the pores of her body, forming a circle around her body. The circle is smooth.
According to the "Three Worlds Sutra of Eliminating Karma and Repaying Debts of Cause and Effect", Our Lady of the Golden Lamp is the existence closest to the light. She serves and assists the leader of the Golden Lamp, and spreads light to the entire world with philanthropy and compassion, benefiting all living beings who yearn for light.
The believers knelt down and clasped their hands, looking at the "goddess" in the golden light. Many believers couldn't help but have sore noses and burst into tears. Some of them experienced the suffering of life, some thought of the sins they had done, and some felt the pain. Light and warmth, or fear, or regret, or emotion, kowtow vigorously like a competition, without exertion it is not enough to show your sincerity!
The first master opened his voice and led everyone to sing the "Hymn to the Holy Mother": "The Holy Mother, the golden light spreads across my body, illuminating my body, the solemn pure land... The Holy Mother, the mother of all things, the most pure and beloved, the Lord of all living beings... "
As the believers sang louder and louder, the lights on the altar became stronger and brighter, illuminating the top of the mountain as bright as day.
The believers were crying and singing. They closed their eyes, raised their heads to face the golden lamp, and felt the light brought by the light through their eyelids. It seemed that the whole world was brightening, the darkness was illuminated, the evil was destroyed, and the pain was eliminated...
The scene becomes more and more solemn and holy!
After singing the Ave Maria, Our Lady of the Golden Lamp spoke, quoting a few teachings, praising everyone for giving up darkness and turning to the light: "You are the happiest people in the three worlds. The end of the world is coming, and darkness is pouring into you like poison in a boiling soup. Their mouths and noses will submerge your bodies and cook your souls... All living beings in the three realms will not be saved. Only you, because you have light in your heart, will be led to the kingdom of bliss filled with light..."
Next, there was a formal lantern worship ceremony. The golden lantern warriors took out thirty-six snow-white lambs from the "sheep pen".
Today's lambs are different from those during sacrifices in the past. They are all bleating non-stop, kicking their legs and shaking their heads, and are very uncooperative.
Some people raised questions, but Master Jindeng, who was in charge, took the initiative to explain and cover up the matter: "The shepherd warriors were transferred to Liangcheng to deal with those sinners who blasphemed the light. Now these are transferred from other places, and they are not familiar with this process." , and we can’t blame them.”
Now that the Holy Mother has arrived, it is better for everyone to do less than to do more. Since the lamb is still there, it is enough to sacrifice and worship the lamp smoothly without any extraneous complications.
The lamb was brought to the altar, and four golden lamp warriors grabbed it one by one, stabbed it into the heart with a sharp knife, drained the blood, and then disembowelled it and took out the internal organs. First cut off the sheep's head and hang it on the two pillars of light on the platform, then peel off the sheep's skin. Master Jindeng will announce the rewards to the believers who have made the most contributions to the church in the past year. Finally, put the mutton on the table for four people. Boil in the pot.
The sheep were trembling with fear. They struggled desperately and kept shouting.
The Seven Treasures Masters sitting on both sides frowned. According to the procedure, these lambs started fasting two days ago and were only fed water. On the day before the ceremony, they were not even given water after noon. This has never happened before. Condition.
But no one spoke. The Virgin Mary with the golden lantern at the top was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by golden light, her eyes closed, as if she hadn't seen anything. She didn't speak, and others didn't dare to speak casually.
All thirty-six sheep were slaughtered, and the mutton was cooked in a large pot. The strongmen took it out and cut it into small pieces for the believers to eat.
The devout believers are convinced that eating these meats can strengthen their muscles and bones, prolong life, and cure all kinds of diseases and poisons. They kneel on the ground, raise their hands and hold the big bowl they brought from home on their heads, and wait for the powerful men to wait. Come and give me meat.
Liang Xingyang hid in the dense forest on the north side and waited until all the sheep were killed before taking action. His target was the Virgin Mary of the Golden Lantern who was meditating with her eyes closed.
The light of the pure Yang sword pierced the night sky, brighter than the magic lamp on the top of the altar!
The Holy Mother of the Golden Lantern suddenly opened her eyes, and her sleeves flew out, facing the sword light like a spiritual snake.
The gauze dress she is wearing is a treasure. The two sleeves are called Liuhui Water Sleeves. They can be lengthened and spread out to cover an area of several acres. They can wrap around and lock the enemy's magic weapon, and resist hidden weapons, poisonous poisons, and poisonous poisons. Various attacks such as evil smoke and flying sand can also directly capture sealed evil spirits and ghosts.
The water sleeves flew out, dancing in a spiral shape in the air, covering the sword's light inside, and suddenly locked inwards to wrap up the flying sword.
However, Liang Xingyang's Pure Yang Immortal Sword was extraordinary and unparalleled. He made a finger in the air and passed a mouthful of true energy. The sword's brilliant light flashed like a sharp edge, cutting the gauze sleeves wrapped around it into pieces. yarn!
The sword did not stop, and continued to stab at the Golden Lamp Madonna. The Golden Lamp Madonna saw that the water sleeve was destroyed, wrinkled beautifully, and formed a lotus mark. A huge golden lotus flower was born out of thin air, holding the fairy sword. She looked at where Liang Xingyang was standing and shouted. :"who?"
