Chapter 60 What is the difference between this and a funeral
--Remember! The night is coming as scheduled...
The moon, as expected, has hung in mid-air...
Tonight is the 7th night after the full moon, which is the seventh day after the Mid-Autumn Festival...
But tonight is destined to be an unusual night...
If it is normal, everyone should have entered a happy sleep at this time. However, tonight, as long as the people of the Crescent Empire, they will raise the torch in their hands and rush to the place of sacrifice at this moment, because tonight is an annual sacrificial ceremony, that is, the worship of the Moon God. The Crescent Empire believes in the theory of the Moon God.-./--Remember!
Looking around the street, there were people holding torches. There were no crowds and fights in the crowd. They followed the steps of the people in front of them in sequence and slowly walked towards the sacrificial site with neat steps. This represents their sincerity for the sacrificial sacrifice and their respect and respect for the moon god.
As time went by, Tang Jing, who had been on standby in the palace, was finally taken out of the palace by a group of people. The others who followed Tang Jing were not allowed to follow Tang Jing because they were not from the Crescent Empire. Of course, they all had two legs, and no one would care whether they would run away by themselves.
With the crowd of people, Tang Jing walked from Tang Jing's residence to the gate of the palace with great sincerity. Tang Jing dared to bet that it would have taken half an hour to walk along the way. Not only were they slow, but the group of people escorting Tang Jing were like a god on the way, and they recited some spells to the moon from time to time. It was even worse than monks chanting scriptures, because when they were chanting mantras, their voices were rising and falling, and they made different strange sounds. After walking for another half an hour in the middle of the night, Tang Jing dared to bet. Those who didn't know the situation would definitely be scared to lose half of their lives.
Outside the gate of the palace, there was a car parked. The whole body was silver-white, and the bottom was made of four wheels. There was a white monster in front of the car. Tang Jing had never seen it before, so the name of this monster was impossible to tell at all. The body of the car was a very long rectangle, with sticks standing on four corners of the rectangle. A silver-white ribbon was tied on it, which fluttered in the wind, which was very strange. There were no seats on the car, only two cushions, and it didn't look like a cushion that could be seated or something.
When he was far away from the palace, Tang Jing had already seen His Highness Shuiyueyu standing next to the car. He seemed to have arrived earlier than her. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
After Tang Jing and these weirdos slowly approached the carriage by one meter, these guys who chanted the spells all the way finally stepped aside.-Remember!
Suddenly, Tang Jing watched them all flash to the side, but she didn't know what to do. It seemed that no one told her what to do after being sent out of the palace by these guys who chanted the spell. Just when Tang Jing was at a loss, His Highness Shui Yueyu had walked in front of her at some point. He knelt on one knee and stretched out his right hand, "My wife, may the Moon God be with you."
"Oh." After listening to Shui Yueyu's words, Tang Jing just answered Shui Yue's words like a mosquito. She was afraid that after she said something wrong, the group of guys who chanted the mantra would run back and drag her away. At that time, she would definitely foam at the mouth. You can imagine that a group of lunatics in white clothes were beating and screaming around you in the middle of the night. Do you think your psychological tolerance is still strong? If you can bear it, it only means that you are a non-human.
Shui Yueyu stood up, then held Tang Jing's hand, and walked towards the so-called car.
"Did you still decide to attend the wedding?" Shui Yueyu asked in a low voice, but looking at Shui Yueyu's face, he didn't notice how he was talking.
"I."
Tang Jing opened her mouth and said a word, but was interrupted by Shui Yueyu, "Don't let others find out that you are talking, otherwise you will be executed on the spot because you don't respect the moon god."
"Oh my God, what are you doing? Why are you doing like attending a funeral~!" Tang Jing, led by Shui Yueyu, walked slowly to the side of the car. However, the scene outside scared Tang Jing so much that her heart beat quickly, because there were people on both sides of the street, and they were all wearing white clothes with white ribbons on their heads. This was really like a funeral event of tens of thousands of people, but Tang Jing also noticed that except for her and His Highness Shui Yueyu wearing silver-white clothes, everyone else was white.
"No nonsense. This is to hold the annual Moon God worship. As long as the royal family gets married, they will have to go to this day. This is to receive the blessing and baptism of the Moon God."
"My mother, this is really scary." Tang Jing stood there, almost unable to walk.
"Princess, Your Highness, please go to Yu." At this time, a person standing next to the car said.
Yu, if Tang Jing guessed correctly, Yu is this transport tool that looks like a 'banban cart'. "Well, how should I sit on this?" Tang Jing asked curiously.
The man smiled strangely at Tang Jing, "Princess, this is not for sitting, it is for kneeling, to represent respect for the moon god."
"Ah~" Tang Jing screamed in surprise.
Suddenly, the corners of his eyes were silently shifted to the position where Tang Jing stood.
Just when Tang Jing was embarrassed, His Highness Shui Yueyu walked out first and said loudly to the moon: "The supreme existence of the Moon God, as his direct believers, we should express our respect in the oldest way."
"Then please ask the princess and your highness to go up to you." The one who stood there without emotion.
At this time, Tang Jing didn't dare to say anything. The eyes of these hundreds of thousands of people would definitely be enough to win the death of ten of her.
"Yes, respectful priest." Shui Yueyu bowed to the priest, then got into the car gracefully, and then knelt on the soft cushion with a beautiful backbone.
After Shui Yueyu knelt down, the priest's eyes stared at Tang Jing at this moment. Looking at the unanimous look, Tang Jing was so scared that she hurried into the car and knelt on another mat with His Highness.
"Go on the road~!" The priest shouted to the front and walked forward one step ahead.
"Hey, Shui Yueyu, what's going on? I'm not attending the wedding? Why did it become a 'mourn'?" Tang Jing said to Shui Yueyu in a low voice.
"Listen, this is not a funeral. This is the annual Moon God worship ceremony in the Crescent Empire. If other people in the Crescent Empire hear you say that Moon God worship is a funeral, I bet you will definitely not see the sun tomorrow."
"It's not that scary." Tang Jing began to give up. This was not a joke. In fact, as long as they stretched their legs, closed their eyes, and then lie in this car that looked like a car but was not a car, then, what's the difference between this and holding a funeral? The only difference is that the funeral is to send the dead, and the Moon God worships to send two living people to a place of sacrifice. But Tang Jing also knew very well that this was a matter of faith. If other people's beliefs were questioned, then they would definitely use any means to protect their faith.
"Hmph, if you don't believe it, you can try it~!"
The car was moving slowly and steadily forward, with people standing on both halves of the road, and they held torches, as if to illuminate the two of them. Ugh, looking at this posture, she gave Tang Jing the courage to do anything. "Your Highness Yu, where are we going?" Tang Jing felt that she was being watched by so many people in the car at the same time, and it felt strange, just like the feeling of many dead bodies staring at you.
"The Moon Pool in the middle of the city."
As soon as Shui Yueyu's words fell, a high platform appeared in Tang Jing's sight. The color of the platform was silver-white. An unknown monster was placed on the four corners of the platform. These monsters seemed to be made of special materials. Although they were an ornament, when Tang Jing saw the eyes of the four monsters, her soul was shocked because, after looking at the monster's red eyes, she felt like she wanted to worship her sincerely.
"Don't look at the eyes of these four monsters." Suddenly, a cold voice came from Tang Jing's mind, which reawakened Tang Jing, who was trapped in an unconscious state.
"Who?" Tang Jing looked around. There was no one beside him except Shui Yueyu. However, when Tang Jing saw the appearance of Shui Yueyu beside him, she was shocked, because the current pious appearance on Shui Yueyu's face was once pious, and she lacked the usual hostility and cleverness. Now he gives people a very special feeling, just like...
"Puppet~!" The voice sounded from Tang Jing's mind again.
"How do you know what I think, who are you? Where are you?" Tang Jing asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry about who I am, now, you have to pretend to be controlled, just like Shui Yueyu, pious and obsessed."
Tang Jing carefully observed the surroundings. It turned out that when she was observing the monsters on the platform, their car had been pulled down below the platform, and below the platform was a square. However, no one dared to step into it easily, because in her vision, there were only two people, one was the priest and the other was His Highness Shuiyueyu who had been completely controlled.
"Quick, those people are coming down, and they are almost like Shui Yueyu." The voice seemed a little anxious.
Tang Jing was helpless. In this inexplicable empire, in order to live a few more seconds, she had to do what she said. She lowered her head, her eyes were obsessed with her look like a devout believer.
At this moment, a few people slowly flew down from the platform. Yes, they were flying, not jumping down from above. Each of them was wearing black clothes, and even their heads and faces were covered by black cloth, which formed a distinct difference from the silver white. Just after they landed steadily, they did not quickly approach Tang Jing and others, but walked to the priests, saying hello like an old friend.
"Hi, sacrificial master, long time no see." A man in black walked slowly towards the sacrificial master.
